I always look forward to the stuff that got cut. I found a bunch of it when I was doing my online map of Creation. I have my own aspirations for being a WW writer myself, don't know if it would happen, but I have a few side projects to see if I can.
It is also sad to see what gets cut to fit in word/page limits. Like cut scenes in movies, sometimes they really add depth to the art, sometimes you sit back and go "yep, glad they cut it."
One good example of that is in one of my stories. The publisher was only interesting in books in the 80-120k word range and it was 168k. The 48k words I cut actually would make an entire sequel to the story, a plot line that I really thought explained the world, but I couldn't get it under the word cap otherwise.
