Self satisfaction and pride that you have told the story you wanted to tell as well as you could tell it, in the way you wanted to tell it, in your own style. After that it is nice for someone else to tell you they liked it. Even to sell it and earn from it but that may not happen. It doesn't happen for most people - JKR's are ultra rare.
