Keep writing. Don't worry if it's "good enough" or try to edit as you go. Let the story flow and then fine tune it once you have it down

I'm currently working on three manuscripts, two more in the Cornwall Adventures series and one that is totally different. It's a horror based loosely on the Jack the Ripper crimes. I just invented my own Jack persona based on reading tomes and tomes of Ripper books. Pure fiction, but based loosely on the timeline of the actual crimes.
