Thanks! It's a little embarrassing to post 1,000 word chapters, but...
...but I've been re-reading some of the early Stephen King books, and I now realize that all of the subchapters in his giant novels are probably the product of one sitting. Sometimes you sit down and 5,000 words magically appear, and sometimes you only get 750 words at a time. I always felt like I was weird for being so inconsistent, but if I'm working at (sort of) the same rate as Stephen King on cocaine, then I think I'm doing okay for myself.
Speaking of which, it also occurred to me that A LOT of fanfic writers produce work at roughly the same rate as Stephen King. That's wild, right? If only kudos made us rich and famous too...
