Are you not emotionally invested in what you write, or in what you publish? There can be a difference.

In what I write for work, which I should separate from what I write outside of work, everything I write must be reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and to conform to the neuroses of the people I work with. I learned long ago that if I got emotionally attached to it, I would get my soul shredded regularly by people who can't write a coherent sentence with a guide and six coaches.

I write outside of work primarily for my own amusement. Sure, I'd like to be the next best-selling author, but I figured out that I won't make it as an author, until I actually write for publication. I have a ton of other interests and I simply haven't felt the need to dedicate myself to writing at that level.
