I can appreciate the need for audience. It's so much work to get it just right (until I read it later and decide it sucks, of course ;)). Doing all of that and having nobody to share it with just wouldn't work for me. I can read or hang out with friends instead.
I think the wibbling about being too "obvious" is interesting. But I think we each have our areas of vulnerability and ideas about what makes something worth writing and reading. For me, if I can't move the reader, emotionally, or shift a perception or two, it hardly seems worth it, you know? I wish I could write comedy, actually, but I don't seem to have the knack.
