Writing is easy once I get going. I can sit down and spit out five pages of a rough draft scene in nothing flat…super sonic speed even…
And then it happens…I slam smack into the editing wall of death.
Tweak a little here, tweak a little there, fix a description here, correct a character flaw there. How much can you spend editing a scene or chapter? Hours, days, lifetimes….it’s never finished. NEVER!
The Failing Novelist 
It’s like the saying goes: novels are never finished, only abandoned.
I personally love to edit my work more than actually write the first draft, but there came a point when I was editing so much that it was a way to avoid releasing it to a potentially critical public. 🙂
