The whole motivation of writing because it is cool and exciting could be a good enough reason.
You could be writing for your own satisfaction, in that case you may not need to 'care' who your reader is.
But if you are seriously thinking to market your writing, then you do have to consider about the definition of 'cool' and 'exciting' to other people. You either let other people decide for you, or you decide for them.

Writing is as subjective as ART. Some people like style A, some like Style C.
For me, the first thing to satisfy is for my satisfaction of writing awesome scenes, then my satisfaction of reading my own writing. XD lol. My preference of writing(long winded) and reading(short and simple) is contradicting, which kinda help in keeping balance.
