I think writing is a wonderful tool for helping us to articulate our thoughts and work through our motivations, and that sort of writing I do keep to myself.
But for me, a story requires an audience. Storytelling is one of the fundamentally human things we do. It's how we make sense of the world around us and create meaning from our lives. And you can tell a story to yourself, sure. But that's the kind of writing that's a diary even if you're couching whatever it is you're saying in fictional terms. To me, writing is communication with someone else.

Again, although it's not a feeling I share, I don't think anyone is *wrong* for feeling the way you do.
