I'm taking more about motivation and perseverance..imho, it's easier to keep producing writing/music/etc if you know there will be a market for it. I would be more inclined to find something new to say if I had 10,000 people waiting to consume it than if I only had 10 or so. But it doesn't mean the quality will be as good as earlier work.

All new writers\performers\creatives have 0 people waiting to receive their work.

You don't need motivation, you need discipline. Write\create\whatever. It will be the only way to turn your 10 readers into 10,000 readers.
