Emily Dickinson wrote her poetry for herself alone and often times burned her pieces so that no one else could read them.
Excellent example about Emily Dickinson. Indeed, sometimes very talented people wrote just because they needed to channel their feelings. AFAIK, Hobbit had been written purely for fun; Tolkien didn't plan to publish the story, he only wanted his friends to read it.
I'm going through all your old fanfic recommendations. Thanks for being so thorough and thoroughly interesting!

It's the cream of the crop, the best of the best (in my opinion, of course). :)
