Being a bad writer means loving your work. Maybe not everything you've ever written, but most of it. More than you probably should. You would be the last to defend your work to the public, but that doesn't mean that you don't care about it.
But even at your proudest, there's a voice in the back of your mind that says you're only a bad writer because you don't want to work hard enough to become a good writer. When you dream of writing the novel that will shape the world, or come up with a concept you don't see anyone else talking about, it's exciting but also depressing. You know that you could be so much better, but you're not sure how to get from mere goodness to greatness.
