I'm not being hard on myself :-)

I know that the more I write, the better I'll get. I don't think that every last thing out of my mouth is diamonds.

... but can we sometimes share things that aren't diamonds... maybe can some things just not be diamonds?

Maybe not ask money for it, even. Just... share it? I've read stuff by novice writers, stuff that wouldn't get published, probably, but that was alive and interesting and fun, even though it had flaws. Yeah, best would be that the person one day, having improved, reworked the story and so made it better, and it got published. But what if that doesn't happen? I'm still glad I saw the story--my life is richer by one story.
