I really admire essays arguing a point that are well-written, with meticulously self-consistent logic, with all the evidence neatly linked and/or referenced, and that are thorough in covering their subject matter.  I feel like I can often recognize when these things are present or not, including in my own writing, but there are times I feel like I know what I should do to accomplish these things, but some sort of mental block prevents me from doing it.  This is one reason why I get frustrated with writing essays a lot of the time.  I hate knowing that what I've written is substandard, I hate when I can identify specific things I'm doing that are substandard, but then seem incapable of rectifying the issue.  And like, it would be one thing if I just had a vague idea that something was wrong, but I feel like if I know what is wrong, I should be able to fix it.  And yet it seems I cannot.
