Or even better get someone else to enforce the dealine :) With writing I'd suggest leaving the text totally for some time, and then coming back with fresh eyes. Then do some corrections and give it to someone. There is quite a risk of actually over polishing a story ;) Oh yes, if you let yourself go on and on, there is always going to be something you can do better, or your skills have improved in the time that has passed, and now you want to re-do half of the work ;) I found that setting yourself deadlines works quite well, as long as you are strict about it.

I also have a story that I started in GCSE English, that I have been modifying and adding to on and off for a few years, slowly progressing with it, and I am always rewording and cross-referencing the grammar and punctuation to make sure its right. Never did finish the fourth chapter *ponders* Website design I'm exactly the same, always modifying and updating and changing until I find the right design concept - I must have a dozen different designs for my new site!

I have such a hard time hitting that. I have a novel 3/4 written that I can't seem to end. It's maddening. I totally know what you mean about “The End”. I have such a hard time hitting that.
