RE: Is my writing serving others? (Could it? Should it?)
Perhaps I can stir your thoughts a little: You MUST write for yourself, then the result may also be valuable for others. If you write for your readers from the outset, you serve a market, but as an impulse, as an eye-opener, it doesn't work.
What do you want?
I don’t disagree with you. But I’d argue it should be treated as a means, not an end - otherwise, we risk shouting into the void.
I mean, you’re a writer: do you not shape your words deliberately, choose them carefully, so your reader can ride alongside your thoughts and see what you’ve seen?
The same thing we all (secretly) want: resonance.
