Delusions of Grandeur vs. Profusion of Doubt

Writers, after polishing their work, tend to develop delusions of grandeur.
Then after comments from even the kindest editor, they tend to develop a major case of low self esteem.
It doesn't matter really if the editor says, "This is effing brilliant!" If there's even a word or two mentioned that could use some tweaking, pride melts into a puddle of self doubt.
This sounds like a stupid waste of time. Why not just write, hear the comments and fix up what needs fixing? So much time would be saved.
But apparently that is not the makeup of the mind of a writer.
For all who must grapple with self doubt, rest assured that you are not alone.
The good news is, if you know (and accept) that you will alternate between thinking you are the most brilliant writer ever born and feeling that you produce nothing but crap, crap, crap, this can work in your favor:
You need sufficient humility to keep looking at your work until it is ready.
Then you need plenty of moxie to put it out there in the world to be judged.
