Anything you love and is worth doing, is going to be hard. That just means the product of your energy and time is going to make you all the more proud and will become precious to you. Creating art is hard, whoever says that it's easy and enjoyable is a moron and doesn't know what they are talking about.
Try not to beat yourself up to much about it, Doc. Have you tried free writing? I know this technique helps me when I am having a block.
A couple quotes from Henry Miller come to mind.
"Write honestly, even if poorly."
"You will learn to write only when you stop trying to write."
Hope this helps!!
