Same here. Nothing is ever perfect. But there are moments that I think I get a sound just right, and for those moments I'm really happy with it and think the songs will turn out great. Those moments don't last long though. Doubts always return. I no longer try to improve songs as much as I used to. A few years ago I could easily spend months on a single song. It had to be perfect. Right structure, catchy melody, original chord progression, meaningful lyrics, optimal mixing. But when I listen back to those songs they're not perfect at all. I used to add new stuff to and make new mixes of years old songs all the time, only to let them grow obsolete within a few months. Now I finish songs much faster. Sometimes I finish a song in a matter of hours (though that's still rare). I move on to new things quicker, and revisit old songs much more seldom. These time restrictions in competitions are good practice.
Anyway, here's a quick list of how things are going: I think ive done it right..

Still over 2/3rd of the songs to look forward to. I think one or two people on the list gave up. I don't know what the list should look like now, but I wanted to see a list like that thanks. Looking forward to the complete one once the deadline is reached.
