RE: How do you handle knowing "It Could Be Better"?

John Posada asks:

<How do YOU handle this....do you just push on and know that even if it
isn't
to your standards, it is to the client?>

Ya know, it seems to me that every writer feels this way.  Even famous
authors often comment about how they'd revise their best-selling works if
they had the opportunity.  

My biggest challenge with one writer is to get her to stop making changes
and just finish the % -at- #*$*#& thing.  Unless specifically told to stop, she
will continue to edit and perfect indefinitely.  I have to practically bop
her over the head.  

Truthfully, though, I fight the same urge.   There comes a point in every
project when I just have to draw the line and say 'This is good.'   I'll
probably never say, 'This is perfect.'
