If you do submit to HN, don't get too tied up in whether it gets any attention or not. Plenty of quality submissions slip by without rising to the front page.
That said, it's really fun and enlightening to see a high-quality conversation develop around something you've written. Keep writing, submit your work on occasion, and enjoy the process.
