I post them on sites such as this one just to see if anyone finds them interesting. If I find someone who likes one of my stories I feel like I have met a kindred spirit who is on the same page with the way I think and in its way it makes the world feel like a less lonely place.
If you really care about the writing you do it becomes personal and in my case I don't think I could sell it even if people were willing to publish it. Hard to put into words - sort of like prostituting one's talent, if indeed there actually is any talent. I just put them out there and hope people who read them don't feel that I've wasted their time after they read them, and in the best scenario they enjoy them and I have added a little something good to their day.
