Anyways, it seems, from production hints and the like, that this is how you write: you often get an idea (or 6) and spawn a new story. You write as for as your inspiration takes you, and usually come to a halt. At some later moment, your muse strikes again (TV show, friend, random comment, etc) and more gets written. Repeat until done.

Since your writing spurts on any given story can be so far apart (years even), how do you know when a story is done? Not being a writer myself, it seems a little mysterious to me. From my POV, it seems that it would be easy to tinker with a story forever, never being quite satisfied.
