And also, if you give yourself permission to write, it makes me happy because I like your books. That makes it a Very Good Thing.

And if you can look at it that way, then you can also look at it that way for all your readers, which makes it cumulative - so it all adds up to being a Very Large Very Good Thing.

In other words, every time you give yourself permission to write you are doing something nice for a whole bunch of other people.
