Even now I tend to want to think that far more experienced writers than me somehow find a 'system' that excludes them from certain insecurities.
For me, it's gotten worse with time -- possibly because the internal editor is so much smarter than it used to be. But I've become resigned to the insecurity as part of the process -- I don't think I value it in quite the same way you do, but I think I'd be a lot happier if I could. I'll have to squash it down into the loam of my subconscious and see if it grows roots there.
