After writing a work of fiction and uploading it onto the internet for the masses to read, is it normal to obsess over how people will be reading a draft that you (read:fig) will inevitably see as inferior later on? Is it normal, moreover, to obsess over the more trite details of aforementioned work of fiction, such as comma placement, sentence phrasing, and the like during the day? Is it normal to constantly edit and resubmit it over again, until you (read:fig) have reached a point where you (read:fig) can say that you (read:fig) have uploaded a version that you (read:fig) are proud of? Is it normal to later realize that the draft you (read:fig) claimed to be proud of just a short period of time later is utter and complete figurative dung, and to yank it off the internet out of shame? Is it normal, in all the excitement of having getting a major writing project done, to initially submit the product without even re-reading it, without realizing the many errors plaguing the first draft, much like the dog dung that used to be in Judgmenl's room? Is it normal to hate your (read:fig) first work of fiction when re-reading it many months after its initial completion? Is it normal to want to rewrite the initial draft from the ground up, because of several recurring mistakes that you (read:fig) have noticed when reading the draft after that amount of time?

No, but I want to write something someday. Lots of ideas, no writing skills.
