You can't judge that just by yourself.

You gotta put your work out into the world

Same happens to me to an extent. It just means you're surpassing yourself. Either that or declining, but if you're really focusing and writing you're not getting worse unless you're being influenced by something shitty.

>D-does this mean I'm making progress?
Yes, but measured by your current self, who is an egocentric cunt and always thinks he knows best.

I'm sure people who by a lot of external standards are regressing still feel like they're making progress since they're acting in the way that they think is best giving the current conditions.

People almost always think they're doing the right thing, so if your past self was doing something else, it's easy to write him off.

I guess that's a fair point, although I do have reason to believe that I am actually progressing as a person and not just changing, and definitely not regressing or degenerating, at least not in the sum.

The problem I have with sharing things is twofold: I feel like I'm not ready to stamp my name on my work, so to speak; in that regard, /lit/ seems like a great platform, however I don't write in English.

What makes you think so? What attempts of objective measures do you take?
