Don't feel too bad if you can't get everything the way you want it, the first time. J.R.R. Tolkien had many stories written down in notebooks and spirals, some in outlines, some with partial dialogue, and some finished. He would work on these stories, often going from one to another, then back to the first, then on to another story, until he had finished them. Some of them he never finished before he died. That's how much he wrote.

Godspeed my friend. Whatever life throws at you, trust that you'll come out on the other end, and we'll be here. Everyone works at their own pace, something I'm trying to get through my young and impatient skull lol, so don't flog yourself too hard if you have to step back and get things in order.
