I've been wanting to write for years, started on and off a few times and always had thoughts/characters and plots mulling about in the back of my mind.
A while back I finally sat down and started something that didn't get deleted within a week. Its just an 'as the mood takes me' kinda thing and I'm not so much worried about being published, just keen to see how i do.
My problem is, I've got a few chapters now and lots more notes, that I'm more or less happy with (atleast for now) but every time i re-read it I find I'm constantly changing the begining and as the thread title suggests the closer to the start my writing is, the less able I am to leave it be. This doesn't really bother me and i am progressing but by now I'm sure I'm starting to go around in circles with it, lol.
Do any of you find the same thing? different sections? do you go back and edit much as you work or do you just keep moving forward? I guess I'm just curious about different writing styles.
