Paul, I think this is normal and part of the process. Let's face it you had a rough day today, too.
We all have different lives outside of these cyber walls, and sometimes it may be close to miraculous to get off a shot let alone one we actually like. I know I feel that way...but I find that by making the commitment to this and to the Quest, as well, that I am forcing myself to get back into taking photographs and looking so much more than I have for a long time.
I still screw up, leave home without the camera see something and curse myself..  and I still try for photos I don't get but it's all got to lead somewhere. You know what they say about stagnation. 
P.S. And I want to add that sometimes I have found, of late, that when I dislike a shot and others honestly find good things in it or even like it that it changes my perception. I think this is a "newbie" thing...when you don't always have the confidence in your sight, let alone your technical skills. I find the input very helpful and appreciate constructive input, even if I might not always agree with it.
