I just belatedly came across this Feb post. I just wanted to say, isn't "belittling" a great descriptive word from another era? And yes, we are all guilty of belittling our own work, often in anticipation of others' reactions. It's a shame because we all secretly have an affection for our own work, even the work that is not at ALL what we intended or approve of. It's like a signature: it may be messy or illegible, but it's a one-and-only and all yours.
