You think it's crap because you're too close to it. As a writer, you're unable to read your work the way a regular reader would. It's kind of sad really. You could write the greatest novel of all time, and the only person in the world who wouldn't ever be able to see that is you. It's like how you don't really notice yourself changing or aging. You just look in the mirror one day and you have chest hair or your first gray hairs or whatever, but you never see/notice yourself grow. Because you can never step outside of yourself, see yourself the way others do. I think writing works in a similar way.
