I have an idea.

Write something original and try shopping it around to get it published. The amount of rejection and honest, no-holds-barred critique you get should cure you pretty quick of the illusion that you're awesome.

Or even worse, they'll publish it but edit it to hell so you're embarrassed to have your name on it.

That does wonders for knocking down the ego. Not so good for making you want to write ever again, though.

Unlikely. I mean, I'm sure it happens. But there's so much original writing out there - like thousands and thousands of stories being shopped at any given time - that they're unlikely to bother accepting something if it's going to need wholesale rewrites. And if it DOES need wholesale rewrites, they're unlikely to do the work themselves, they're going to send it back to the writer to redo.

Unless... you're not talking about Publish America or whatever it's calling itself now, are you? Because yeah, I can see working with them making a person not want to write ever again. But that's not really being published. In general, it's called being conned.
