Give yourself permission to suck. If necessary, read through some of the stories that get published here and tell yourself "I could do better than that".

I havent posted any new stories for about 10 years, mostly because I am just terribly dissatisfied with the product, usually even before its completed. Any advice?

I agree with giving yourself permission to suck. Who said the first draft is just you telling yourself the story? Amuse yourself. Then find someone you trust to read it and give you feedback. Perhaps there's someone whose writing you respect that you could ask?
On a side note, is it possible your dissatisfaction is not really with your stories but with some other aspect of your life? When I'm feeling down about myself or some part of my life, it can make it difficult to see the positive aspects in my writing.
Lastly, remember that it does no good to compare your writing to that of others. The only writing you should compare yours to is writing you did several years ago, and the only way to improve is to keep writing.

If you can afford it, you can try hypnotherapy. That worked very well for me. There are lots of hypnotherapists who treat creative block.
Personally I am not a prolific writer. It comes from my approach to many things, I am drawn to quality over quantity and am quite meticulous with details as much as I can be careless in other ways.
I just read the intro to 'Reluctant Consort,' and Jesus Christ that thing is crammed with detail and imagery..... Wow.
Thank you for the PM, I saw that first, I really appreciate it.![]()
