I find that when I write, time appears to go by much faster than normal. I'll work on something thinking that only half an hour as gone by, only to find I have lost a couple of hours.
Do any other of you writers experience this?

I have experienced the lost time thing a few times while writing (and like the Great Ape said, only on an early draft), but I swear I experience added time far more often, where every word is like pulling teeth, and the clock slows down to a crawl. Just wrote an 8000 word story, and EVERY WORD was an effort.

Sometimes I will get and idea and mull it over for days in my head, when I start to write it will just flow and a whole evening can suddenly have gone by.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean about losing blocks of time when writing. I've experienced that on a few occasions when I was especially zoned-in on a story I was working on.

Yes, as others have said, I can loose several hours writing when I’m in the grove. I can also struggle with every word at times, making each minute seem to last for hours. It all depends on how easily the story is coming.

I absolutely experience lost time. When an idea hits me, I have to release it from my mind in order to move on to focus on other things. So, I often write stories in one sitting and I almost always lose myself in my stories and reemerge to find myself in a different part of the day.

I find that if the words are flowing well, I completely lose hours of time. However, when I am stuck, the clock seems to move backwards.

Well first let me say, I need to be in the mood to write or it's all gibberish when I'm done. As for losing time, like others said, I don't feel like it's lost time. For me, it's more about filling time with something constructive. In my job, I often have hours of downtime with nothing to do. This is where I get most of my writing done providing I'm in that mood.

I find myself where hours can go by for me.

Oh, you bet! I can sit down to write in the middle of the afternoon and suddenly discover that it's dark outside.
