Confidence is a strange thing, elusive like quicksilver, yet extremely potent.

I've been drawing many years, since my teen-age years. Only recently have I started to feel good about what I was producing, noting less mistakes. Having Slam McCracken chosen by Zuda to compete this month was a huge boost; suddenly, my half-baked concepts don't seem so, well, half-baked, and I'm starting to convince myself that I'm a 'webcomic creator'.

I've always known that I wanted to pursue my own ideas, rather than bring someone else's to life. With renewed confidence (ah, that word again), perhaps next year will finally see more of my ideas published, either on the web, or by some print-on-demand service.

Definitely, to be continued....
