Hi

>     How often do you make mistakes that require you to start again
>     from scratch? 

    I'm not sure if your situations are similar to what was happening to
    me. I was thinking of myself as "Miss 90%" because that is about how
    far I would get on anything. At the 90 % point, the piece would just
    start to look "not right". Inevitably, I would push it too far and
    break it in some way or just quit and throw it in a drawer. Things
    took me so long to complete. 

    This phase passed eventually. Often, when I finish a piece, I put it
    somewhere out of my sight. That way, I can't pick it apart trying to
    improve it.
