I've been writing a book for years, bit every time I try I lose passion or something gets in the way and I end up talking huge breaks. During these breaks I always rethink parts of the book and change shit and now I can't bring myself to write because I know I'll just change it later. Anyone have this problem?

That's not a 'problem'.

If you keep changing shit before you're done of course you'll never finish. Finish an entire draft, then edit it.

Take notes on what you want to change in a separate document/notebook. Finish a first draft of the whole thing then refer to those notes when revising.

an author I can't recall said he never took notes on his draft while he was writing it because if he forgot it, it probably wasn't that important to begin with

just power through and finish your first draft without going back
