You have to have a reason for writing that isn't money or fame. For me, I write to make sense of the world and invent the reality I'm living in. Some of my own favorite works are ones that nobody knows about. For aspiring writers, I would say: don't just get it written. Get it right. (I forget where I heard that phrase; apologies to whoever I stole it from.)
