Dibs to Al Xavier and his Bernard Cornwell quotes. I was thinking something similar.
For one, an inexperienced writer shouldn't be expected to boot out a classic first go. The way your answer is written, though, seems to imply that a beginning writer is only capable of writing crap. This is the opposite extreme and still a lie.
Many writers do write one or two "throwaway" novels before publishing. I myself am writing a story I'm truly invested in, but don't expect to go too far.
Give yourself some slack. Enjoy your story, write like you mean it, and keep it as remembrance.
