I feel your pain. Going back and editing and re-editing takes a lot of time. And then you read something, whether for pleasure or for research, whether factual, historical, or fictional, and think, "Gee, there's elements in here that would be applicable to this story or that story I'm working on, or to a T2K campaign or backstory or rule change". Or the material you're reading puts you on the right track but you develop the story, or segment thereof, in a different manner that leads you to a different conclusion than the author did, or has you thinking and expanding on it more than the material did.
But then the writing becomes more of a journey than a destination.
