Well, this was too good to leave in the comments. Big thanks to Neil Baker for the link.
And it’s so true. We DO have to wait for our talent/understanding of the craft/ability to catch up with our taste. It’s all part of the process.

One of those things that is so obvious – and yet it took me years to work it out.
I know just what you mean, Ann. Actually I wonder too whether the desire and drive to be good, and the pride of finishing something, can distort our views of our own work.Perhaps…Nik
…actually I think that still applies to me now!Thanks for stopping by.
I blogged about something slightly similar not that long ago. I wondered how you get people who publish their first book and it goes ninja. I'm definitely in a learning phase and I have been a published author for more than 5 years with 9 published books and plenty of published stories. I see that gap. I agree you must keep working. In a way it may be better if no one publishes you during that time. But my journey has gone the way my journey has gone. No regrets, I'm just saying.
I think the most important part about writing (and probably LIFE as well!) is that we are always learning; it's important! But no, I don't think there can be any regrets with anything we write – nothing's wasted.Nik
