Are you sure you have Asperger's? Because it's interactions like these that I favor over inane, pointless conversations that either go nowhere or are people just being douchebags. The hard part for me is finding people who are willing to participate in talks like these, or just breaking through the shell that most people have in order to get to this kind of real talk.

Maybe I have Asperger's too, lol.

Anyways, I see your point, but when it comes to artistic endeavors, at least for me, the biggest reason I write and draw so that others can enjoy my works and occasionally be happy because of them. That I enjoy writing and drawing, and that I'm (mostly) more passionate about them than anything else, come second to making others happy and providing enjoyment for them.

If what I write/draw don't bring enjoyment/happiness to others, then I lose a lot of my motivation to do it, and in the process I also lose the happiness that I would've otherwise derived from their enjoyment/happiness. I know it's a very selfless thing, and in a way it's violating your "you control your own happiness" assertion (my happiness is dependent on the happiness' of others), but in a different way it doesn't (I can influence the happiness of others' via my drawings/writings).

I do believe I'm not good enough, and there are a lot of people better than me, but that's right now. In a few years maybe that will change. The problem I have right now is that there is a lot of people better than me in almost every aspect. If I could pride myself on even a single aspects of my drawings, I might have more motivation to keep trying, but I really don't. My strongest aspect thus far is my sense of graphic design, I would think, followed closely by my sense of color, but even those aren't that great, and even if they were, I wouldn't want to use them as a crutch while the other aspects of my drawing continue to be weak points.

Couple that with the current motivational rut I'm in with writing, and we've got a double whammy that leaves me feeling about as useful as Tom (the rock). Like I said, I draw happiness from seeing others enjoy my works or be happy because of them. BWSD has been in development for over a year, has been nuked and restarted from scratch three times, and has finally reached an iteration with which I'm not just satisfied but happy with.

Regardless, it's at 31k words out of at least 200k, and I mean at least. 31k forms the prologue and about half- to two-thirds of the first of six arcs. 200k is a bare-minimum estimate for the length of the completed work. I have poured my heart and soul into this fic', and many of the concepts and characters it contains, and the themes it addresses, resonate with me and my soul so strongly that even now, after almost a month of not working on it at all, I can't stop thinking about it.

Yet I come in here, I drop the most interesting non-spoiler tidbits I can think of about it, I do a few drawings of OCs from it, and I could barely fill a thimble with the responses I get. I could keep writing because I like writing, but if no one enjoys it now--if I can drop the description hook it will be published with and get no response whatsoever--who's going to enjoy it later? Basically no one. I'm of the opinion that art is worth nothing without an audience to partake of it. You can cook the most delicious cake in the world, but if no one eats it, how much is it worth?

Even if the response was "what the fuck is this" or "I don't like it", that'd at least tell me people cared enough to read it. Instead I get no response apart from three, maybe four people. I will not waste years--and make no mistake, BWSD will take years to finish--on writing something that five people will read, two people will fully understand, and zero people will give me a job/kickstart my career because "it was just that good".

And don't even get me started on the stupidly large number of people who won't read fanfiction just because it's fanfiction.
