[ OT ] SatChat : What inspired you to start writing more seriously ?

This sub, actually. I was writing pretty much for fun until I stumbled upon this sub with the Calvin and Hobbes prompt. It actually got me to think more about what and how I was writing things, got me writing more often too. 
 
 I do wonder, though, I wonder - sometimes it could be a good idea not to take it *so* seriously? You end up in this weird state of paralysis if you take it too seriously, where you're afraid to write or commit anything because you have this idea in your head that must be good and now you know ( or you better know ) what good writing is. So it could actually become worse in the long run. 
 
 Shameless self-promoting line, I have a sub: D

 What do you guys think?
