Normally I don't post in the middle of the week. But something great happened to me today!

Most of you know I love webcomics. And you probably know I obsess over one particular favorite, The Life of Riley. It was the first comic I ever read, and has always been closest to my heart. Last year this comic went on a 9 month hiatus because of a suicide (though its coming back on March 4th). I've hung out in their forums since then, trying to fill the void.
Today I posted some fanart over there, along with a link to my webcomic. And then, within minutes, I received an IM from one of the comic creators. He told me he thought my comic was great. One of my comic heroes thinks my comic is great!

I know that webcomic artists/writers are just people. They're not any different from most people you meet on the street. But this... this just made me really happy. I know my comic isn't incredible or anything. It's just Heather telling her goofy story. Nevertheless, I am encouraged. I am honored.
