When creative partners have conflicting approaches to completion

My songwriting partner and I have amazing creative chemistry but completely different relationships to perfectionism - I want to polish every detail and she wants to capture the raw moment, and we're stuck in this loop where every song becomes a negotiation between finish and release. We're both getting frustrated but neither wants to compromise their creative instincts.
