Oh, forgive my whining. I just feel like I spend so much time either writing or thinking about my writing and am still soooo sloooow.
I do agree with you that one cannot keep revising stories forever. I do find that one technique I have that forces me to move forward is to tell myself I will revise later. On reaching a higher skill level: I do see that happening with my writing and I will not go back and re-write everything I ever wrote to bring it up to where I am now. I guess I'm not exactly horrified, but I think "Oh, [deep sigh] that's not so great, is it? [shrug]" I guess that is what I mean by lazy! LOL
