I hope when I publish to get a small but devoted following. I’m not chasing fame and fortune with my writing. If you fly high enough there’s too many expectations and you can easily become a target. No thanks.

Not that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to being a successful writer (because I don't and I'm not), but it seems to me that writing for oneself might be the way to go. Matter of fact, it's really all we CAN do. I've been a music creative for most of my life, and have come to the conclusion that there will always--ALWAYS--be people who don't like what you create, and the wider you're known the more of those people there'll be. On the other hand, if you like your creation (or even if you don't), chances are someone else out there will, too. So, go ahead and create what you want to create, and let the internet eat a hockey puck.
