Writing is hell only if you avoid writing because of your natural fear of repetition. Put up with that challenge, and it will be your bliss.

There are two ways that I’m familiar with when it comes to determining whether or not your article or the few pages you’ve written today are flawless, correct, or contain no irredeemable mistakes. You either write everything perfectly from the start with complete awareness and concentration so that you’re sure enough everything is correct from the start, or you review the entirety of your article or what you’ve written after you finish writing it for the first time, and that review is not you scanning it looking for mistakes, but reading it as if you are reading anything else that you haven’t written yourself or that you’re not the author of it. Repeat until satisfied. You don’t want to get reward from something you have no idea what it looks like or is like in its final stage. You get reward from having written a masterpiece, or at least from having put everything in your mind down on paper (metaphorically speaking) or in text or written form without missing anything out in the process. And you can’t know whether or not that has really took place without confirming that this is what really happened in the external or real world. If you do not want to go through that inevitable revision stage, then you have no choice but to write perfectly from the start. Which is not impossible. You can do it. Everybody recommends getting a first draft over with, with disregard to the quality or how ready the material is to be published, as long as you have successfully managed to gather all the ideas that you wanted to talk about or present in that text in a way that is salvageable and can be expanded upon later on in an acceptable manner that can make sense to someone other than yourself. I disagree with this hugely. As David Allen describes it in his book “Getting Things Done”, this will lead to the existence of open loops or continuously running circuits of the unfinished or not totally dealt with project or task, which will keep draining your energy in a manner that you’d be totally oblivious to, until you become aware of how much that was a burden, when you muster your courage and complete those unfinished tasks or projects. You have to forget about it to create something else entirely outside of it. And that will not take place unless you have no reason to fear forgetting about it because there’s nothing else that could be done about it to make it better. The only way you’ll be able to move on and create your next masterpiece is to reach a point of total peace concerning all previous creative works, pieces, projects, content, or things. And that won’t happen until you have nothing else to do about them to make them any better. Nothing is still left hanging in the air, waiting for you to come back to it someday to deal with it. That is, the only way out is to complete the creative piece of work or content beyond perfection. This is the only cure for your writer’s block that keeps getting worse the more you create. You cannot get reward from something new if you didn’t get your awaiting reward from old stuff first, at least what counts as creative work. At least this is true for writing. At least this is true only for true bred writers.
