Writing a paper should not be viewed as a chore, but as an opportunity to organize your thoughts. Even if no one else benefits from this exercise, you will. You will often hear people say that they did good research on some topic, but could never get around to writing it up. They might be sincere, but they would often be mistaken. In most cases, the fact that they didn't write it up means that they never quite completed the work.
