I feel that ‘angry authors’ might be more likely to use their emotion as tool, rather than harbour it as motivation.
Amatuer writers of fiction, particularly, have their egos to feed. We crave attention, for our efforts – it’s just human nature. And, we write because we believe our fantasies are something others will enjoy.
I think, too, in an odd kind of way it gives us a certain feeling of immortality. We hope that long after we are gone, our words will remain, and for a few lucky and talented ones, they actually do.
