In the countless of interviews of successful authors I have read and heard, not once has an interviewee said, "I am satisfied with what I have written." The objective is to write, not to finish once and for all. Once they have completed the piece, they move on to the next one. Writers write; that's what they do.
Writers see themselves in a state of development, continuously sharpening their craft by reading, writing, editing, learning, experiencing. They likely take great pleasure in completing a literary work, but the reward for them is more work. Writing is not something that they one day hope to retire from. Indeed, it is their essence, so they just keep pushing along.
