I'm a bit like you, I find it hard to push forward with plot, getting tied down with spot-editing. And then my enthusiasm wanes, or the old voice in my head kicks in, saying, 'This is rubbish, you really want to waste a year writing this?' And for me, the shiny things are new stories popping up, that I'll just jot down a few notes for, and a few more, and, oh, what the hell,
that wasn't working anyway. And as a result, the number of stories I've finished you can count on one hand, and the longest of those is only a twenty-thousand worder. Damn attention span.
EDIT: Oh, and I write on my laptop, although I am cosidering dusting off my old typewriter to cut out that editing itch.
