I once cared deeply about that fact. Read countless books and cried many times re-reading my works. Nowadays, I care much less, and write to write, so long as the process is enjoyable.
Sometimes it's not worth being a fool to play by the rules! The above suits as a haiku, however, I couldn't work it into the point that I wanted it to be. For the sake of context, unhinged, I'll compose what I would have normally written below.
My Identiy is Like a Reflection on Running Water: An Inconsistent Image
It's good to have rules. They force you to think differently—for better or for worse. However, as much as you want to abide by them, sometimes, you have to know when to break or bend them for the sake of the Art.
The Johari window model of self-awareness divides aspects of oneself into what is known/unknown to ourselves, and what is known/unknown to others. It's typically used in pop psychology and self-help settings.
I thought at first that the quadrants comprising what is known to ourselves to make up the largest part of the window but now, I find that I'm still learning new things about myself as time goes on (and I'm thirtyish!).
It could be that I'm just not very self-aware--and I admit to a degree that's true--but I believe all of us underestimate how much we don't know about ourselves.
It takes new situations and conditions to bring out an aspect of our identities we never showed before. Part of what makes reading/writing fanfiction fun for me is seeing known personalities in uncertain conditions and learn something new about their identity.

Good shit, important to know it about yourself.
