> I would recommend that to anyone who loves writing. There's nobody to tell you it's too short, or it's too long, or this section is not detailed enough, or this one is boringly full of details. If you write only for yourself, you can focus on the best things in writing : imagination, and having fun.
Exactly :) I used to write a lot, and worried myself to death over what others thought of it. Eventually I realized that I just had to stop caring about that -- if I wrote for me and me alone, it was so much more liberating and enjoyable. Doing things like participating in NaNoWriMo[0] has actually started being enjoyable again: I don't need to worry if my writing is "publishable" or "good" or some other standard, I can just write whatever I want and not care.
