writing is hard

Okay here is a thing.
When I write something in a "flow state" and it just pours out, that is when my writing ALWAYS gets the best reception.
When I LOVE a project and when I pore over it and work for it, nada. WHAT. WHY.
So hey all you writers.... is it possible to incorporate the flow state into a daily writing ethic? if so how?
I have to say it's terribly frustrating for me as a writer to see work that I just "toss out" climb to the top while my darlings sink into obscurity. Is this "kill your darlings"? I hate that phrase. WHY.
