In my very long experience, people who are this smug are nowhere near as good as they think they are. They plateau out at decent mediocrity because they get lost in their own smugness.

The truly brilliant writers tend to end up being the ones for whom nothing they write is good enough, because they never stop striving even when they reach a level others would consider good.

No, no. I get where secret OP is coming from. I don't think it's necessarily the same as thinking you have no flaws in your writing. I still think of rewriting or changing details of or things I could've added to works I genuinely feel good and confident about. "It could've been even better!" doesn't been it isn't already good and I can't pat myself on the back for that.

Recognizing that you have skill doesn't equal thinking everything you type out is automatically gold which doesn't need any touching up. There's a very big difference between going "you know what, I'm good at the thing I do and put a lot of effort in and have spent a bunch of years practicing" and the types who want to dox their Goodreads reviews.
