Your writing is not going to improve this way. You need at least one competent person editing and reviewing your writing. However, the idea/experiment is interesting and I may try it one day!

I disagree slightly. That's like saying you can't become a better cook without someone else eating and judging your cooking.

If you read a lot you have developed "taste" for good writing. When you're starting out, just writing something you yourself don't hate can be challenging (if you're honest with yourself). Heck, I re-wrote this comment 3 times before I didn't hate it :-)

I agree that eventually, once you're at a certain level, you need someone reviewing your writing.
