Yeah, I wrote poetry, and one or two stories that I looked at later, and was like, 'wow, that was just horrible.' But, it helped me grow as a writer. The more you write, the better you'll get. It's the truth. My stories used to be poorly worded and not descriptive enough, and now I've gotten better. I still have a long ways to go, but I know I'll continue to get better if I keep writing. So, I think looking back at a previous poem or story and thinking it's horrible is a good thing. It means that you've grown and that you've become better at what you thought you were already good at. It's a part of growing up. =)
