Writing for your own self-importance is half of why I don't read many books that are published now. The author seems to go into half of these books knowing their spectacular, and that they're going to be wonderful someday. I adore me some Harry Potter, but I enjoy her first three books the best out of the entire series. It was before she became INSANELY FAMOUS, and she was just writing to get a story idea out of her head. Then it became her job, and after that, her writing didn't seem to be as interesting anymore.
It's another reason why I honestly don't think I'll ever be published. Publishing my novel means that I have done this to get paid, and therefore takes the fun out of it.
The most fun novels are the ones that aren't out to blow your mind, but DO. The entire Harry Dresden novel - Jim Butcher still admits he has a BLAST writing those, and it shows in every page. It's the same with his Codex Alera series. I'd choose him over J.K Rowling or Stephenie Meyer any day of the week.
