What you are describing is the typical symptoms of being out of flow state. You were assigned something that you've never done before. It is hard. You are likely to do it in a suboptimal way. And it is frustrating. You have to find the way to make it easier. And, unfortunately, the most efficient way is to practice. Practice more, not less. For example write a few compositions for yourself. Take some songs, you've already written and write them down perfectly, but unassigned. Say, write three of them, or ten. Your mind will have no other choice but to provide you with the efficient way to do it. You are lucky in that your joy depends on learnable skill, not on other people.
