The Broken Record of Improvements

The one thing that I don't like about writing: revising.  I am always so eager to progress the story that I rush events to the point where the plot could end within three pages.  When I try to resist the temptation of continuation, I suffer through revision after revision until I decide that I'm sick of reading the same lines over again.  That's usually the point in my projects where I abandon it entirely.  Otherwise, the writing would seem forced.  If I were to ignore the need for changes and carry on with the plot, however, my gut would eat me alive.  Currently I am at the same crossroads.  Luckily, I know that this is the project I want to finish.
