The only time I can sit down and write something is a white fire project, real rare. They grab me and just pour out, and I don't have to think about them. (So rare that I can name them all, over forty years of writing novels.)
Otherwise, some need decades of thinking time, some just months. Some need buttloads of rewrites, some come out okay enough...but of course if there's a deadline, that matters as well, as to how 'done' it gets.
