I find myself in a bit of a dilemma. I work on my flash project in my spare time, and I find myself getting exponentially better at things as I work out how Macromedia functions. That's the good news.
But now I find myself unhappy with how my flash started, so I go back and re-do it. Only now I'm having problems linking it to where I left off, so I create an intro so I won't get bored. It's a great intro, but now I'm not satisfied with the part I just TO HELL WITH IT I'M STARTING OVER.
So now I'm starting over from the beginning for the 3rd time. And while I'm sure it'll be much better for it, I'm starting to worry that I'll be stuck in an endless cycle of editing until it dawns on me how immature and childish this whole thing is and re-watch Lucky Star and Negima!? to stave off depression but failing when I realize that all the characters I love are fictitious and that my life is a conglomeration of lies built on artificial stereotypes that no single person can hope to match and thus damning me to exist in constant crushing despair cushioned only by the blind acquisition of yet moar anime until I die alone of massive kidney stones caused by Dr. Pepper consumption.
Wait.
What was I saying? Oh, right. So, what do you guys think I should keep re-editing until I'm thoroughly sick of, I mean, satisfied with my first episode, or would you rather watch my work improve over time, like any reasonable flash artist?

I have the same problem. As a constantly improving songwriter, I find myself nearly unable to truly finish any song, since I always think it could be better both lyrically and musically.
I think it'll be better to just continue from where you are now, and move on to greater projects in the future.
Besides, you won't have the whole 'That last thing was my greatest thing ever. I'm never going to be able to create something better' vibe going on!
Just my perfectionist two cents.
