Ok I'll chime in. I'm spending 12 months while I have an honorary research fellowship converting my PhD thesis into more journal papers (I had 2 published during my PhD). Recently 2 papers were accepted by journal editors, including the most eminent journal in my field, 2 more papers are currently with editors/reviewers, and 2 more (including 1 based on my Masters dissertation) are in preparation. So things are going very well. And all are single authored papers, so just me.
