Speaking from personal experience, one of the fears a writer of original fic can experience is not knowing. Not knowing if what you've put your heart into for years is complete and utter garbage. Not knowing what others think of it (unless you have a critique group). Not knowing if you're wasting your time on fiction no one will see. Some say writing ought to be for the writer anyway, and that's true, to an extent. But I know one of the reasons I write is to move people, and if I'm putting all my energy into something that is not worth it--that will never see a bookstore shelf--then not only is my main goal incomplete, but I've wasted a part of my life.
