okay first off, what is the least likely, obviously it wasn't a non-fiction  story correct?
also do you think he thought the things in his book actually happened? if he did he would have been thought of as a complete loon. Also look up middle earth. you'll find that multiple stories of middle earth existed before J.R.R. Tolkien. after you rule out those only one is left. I'll let you concure which one that is from my explanation.

He got certain pleasure out of writing them and creating the fantasy world and the associated languages and he certainly liked the extra money it gave him. He started writing stories for his children. He had been creating make believe worlds since he was about 12. Someone had heard part of the story and they gave some of it to a publisher and they liked it and offered to pay him for it.
