One thing I learned a long time ago is that your first draft is always, always, always going to be TERRIBLE.
I don't care if your name is William F. Shakespeare, the first thing that dumps from your brain onto the page is going to suck. It's not until you go back and edit your work will it become something good.
So don't worry about plot holes and shallow characters, EXPECT plot holes and shallow characters, because that's what all first drafts are like.
