I don't think we ever will be. It's about doing it anyway, and accepting the discomfort. That is how you will grow as a writer. Trying to perfect an essay on your own will not help improve your abilities. We need to stretch. We need to reach. We need to be uncomfortable.

It is like that in art, for me at least. Some line looks a bit odd? then I erase it over and over and over. some line in any kind of writing looks weird for me?
