First of all, calm down. Your anxiety over your work is doing more harm than good.
Secondly, you need to set goals for yourself. Concentrate on what you want to accomplish. Don't worry about editing anything, just get the story down on paper, or computer, or whatever you're using, first. Worry about editing AFTER everything is written.
Before I begin a story, I write the whole thing down on paper, just a rough copy of what the story is about. Then I take it to chapters; chapter one-this happens, chapter two-this happens, etc. From there I break it down into scenes, what happens, who's involved, where are they, when is it, how do they get to this point.
When I sit down to physically write, first I meditate. Clear my mind so I can focus only on the story. Then I write. My goal every day is to write a thousand word, or finish a scene, or even a chapter. Depending on how the Muse is feeling.
I would love to be able to do this as a career, and I'm working toward that goal, but I know precious few who do this. Everyone I meet tends to have either a full time, or part time job to pay the bills.
