Nothing is ever enough…

When do you know how to stop, whether its a novel, a piece of cake or your life! There have been many a wishful thought flitter through my brain always along the lines of “when I get X…then I’ll be happy” but I never am. As soon as I have the allusive object of desire I then reach for another thing that I need to make my life better.

Whilst writing, I often promise myself that ‘at the end of this chapter, I’ll be nearly finished’ but I never am. There are always more bits to add, another character to explore or a different take on a situation. Its only through practice that I can judge when is as good a time to stop…or carry on. It never ends!
