I'm noticing this super annoying cycle, where I spend a few months doing 15K-20K per month, but it's all really rough writing that I completely dread editing. Then I get burned out. Then, when the time comes to fix up my slapdash writing, I have so much contempt for the work that the editing process feels a lot like holding my face to a flaming belt sander.

I wonder if you're writing too quickly then? Sure, anyone can wordsplang at a rapid pace, but that would seem to make for this very editing problem you're detailing. What if you slowly crafted 5-10k per month and paid close attention to quality, not quantity? It would be slow going, but you might end up completing more projects because going back and editing them won't make you want to die (as much).
