I try to think like this. However I have this notion, which could be wrong, in that you ought to share your work with others to get feedback on how to get better. It's happened to me a lot in other domains like programming: I'll work on a thing, be proud of it and release it only to get fairly critiqued on this one detail I never noticed until they pointed it out. Sometimes these are so fundamental I end up going back to the drawing board.
I don't understand how to get that kind of insight completely alone. I'm convinced there will be things I will just not notice by myself. Then again expecting to be read is a huge mental blocker to the order of not producing anything at all, so I guess it's partly a trade-off.
And sometimes I'm unable to convince myself I'm improving or doing the right thing, which presses me to expect to be read more. Personally I always want to get better, and a likely failing of this is I see less value in what I do if I can't see improvement.
