I want my novel to go somewhere

Statistics say I won’t ever traditionally publish my book, but the thought of it actually going somewhere is what keeps me going. A lot of people say that I should write for myself and because I have the passion. But for me that’s not enough. The thought of people reading my book and experiencing all these emotions I feel when reading is the most important to me. I want people to enjoy it.

So now I’m just feeling down because of what the statistics say and I’m looking for some sort of hope or maybe advice on how to deal with this.

Or maybe some successful stories?
