    There are few "library" websites you can join. Pick your best stuff and send it to some publishers (preferably via a manager).

    nothing is wrong with sounding main stream, if your the guy pushing a new sound forward.
    for example, like back in 2000 there was dubstep. it was uk dubstep, dark and dubby. flash forward 10 years and literally every single producer is making the same wah wah wah wah wah bass sounds. granted, that **** sounded really fat, because it was new. but then once people figured out how to send the lfo to control the filter cut off the market was flooded with an eternity of music that sounds like garbage. how ever it was some "cutting edge" synthesis to a lot of people because they never heard sounds like that.

    a tip for you to overcome writers block is play "sample roulette".
    step 1. find a few weird ass records of some music you would never normally play or something your parents would listen to
    step 2. sample it. sample it in spots that sound weird to you, or musical, or scarry or what ever. just get some tiny snippets
    step 3. make them work. fit them into the track or build the track around them.
    step 4. be creative with the samples now. (reverse them, copy the sound to another track and then do panning automation, apply different delays and reverbs to the samples, etc etc etc)
    the trick is, your stepping out of your normal box where you go and get samples that have been already gathered for you and arranged in a way that makes them all sound similar and goes together. this forces you to find things that are specific to your taste and most likely no one will have ever used the sounds you choose.
    the list goes on and on for ways to keep your self motivated.
