Oh goodness, yes; I'd say at least two thirds of the short stories I begin end up as >500 word fragments because there's just not enough there, or I burned off the inspiration for that idea before getting all the way through. And yet, they're still there and I flip through them from time to time and sometimes I find something glorious that I'm ready to work with again years later.
Ursula Vernon talks about rotating through projects like this, though I think her process sounds a bit different.
I've also talked to someone who says she's afraid to try novelling b/c she's never written anything she didn't finish in a sitting. Which I can't actually imagine.
