Is it normal to feel this after writing...

130 253 word and five months later I have finished fourth version of my first book, based on the recommendation mister Jarrold gave to me, and I feel like I have made a pile of c..p. I don't think it's any good, even though I have seen some of you saying flattering words on the critiques section.

Last time when I was in this point, I felt absolutely different. I felt as I had done something. Some people who read few pages said that they did find it very hooking etc. etc. One editor wrote me long list of fancy words, and even mister Jarrold said, "it's brilliant and I like it, but I don't love it." Hence I took a heed of his words and tried again to do my best.

Now I think that I gained nothing, and I feel kind of hollow. Therefore the question is...

Is it normal for one to feel so? If not, then what the heck I should do to make me feel otherwise and trust that what I have done is good enough?
