: Re: What's the point of writing that I know will never be used or read? Writing can be a very difficult, frustrating, stressful and effortful process. It can also be very isolating to the writer.

Storytelling is more than just consumption. Consider three stages:

Model the story. Design a setting, characters, conflict, plot, and flavour.
Portray the models created in stage 1.
The audience interprets the portrayal.

The reason to write a book no one else will read would - in this perspective - be to portray the models designed in stage 1 as well as possible, or to improve them by writing them down.
