@glowmance well, yes, but in this present day I've come to look at those past works as improvements. They remind me how much I've learned and how far I've come. I don't try to go back and fix the mistakes; instead I use them as reference points especially when someone thinks I became good at writing out of the blue. All I do is show them my past works, like, "yeah I was horrible too" lol. And I'm still learning even til now. I don't think there is any concept of being a "pro" at writing, we just get better than our past "good", idk if this makes sense.
