Same. I've finished about 3 songs ever. Out of hundreds. And each time it's been a holy experience. I've heard Tom Petty talk about being a conduit to something beyond his conscious mind, writing songs so fast he doubts they're anything good, but nope they're classics. I've heard The Black Keys say they like to write as fast as possible to not burn out the initial inspiration. Like 3 or 4 songs a day sometimes, written and recorded. It's amazing.
I think the real skill is turning off your anxieties and trusting that your subconscious, properly seeded with inspiration and a variety of music, will deliver. That's hard these days with infinite tracks and FX slots. I always feel like I'm missing something.
