You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.

I love this way of looking at it. My first novel was crap -- I just didn't know it.

But the only way to advance through the levels is to write.

Keep writing!
