Yes, my books have been bought/downloaded. But if I believed I would never sell another book, or even be able to give one away, it would negatively impact my desire to write anything new. (And I refuse to believe I'm the only one who feels that way.)

You're not. I agree. There are many forms of writing though and I do suppose some people write only for themselves, but if so it should be journal writing.
For me writing is about sharing ideas/information/emotions/situations. I (and many others) don't feel a piece of writing is completed until the reader completes it by reading and interpreting it in their own way.
