Thanks for 50 favs!

General
It may not sound like a big accomplishment or anything, but it's crazy to think about.
I mean, yeah, half of my gallery isn't made by me, and the only drawing I have made has no favs from strangers, but still. If I manually tried to get 30-ish people (a haphazard discount of non-unique favs) to like something I showed to them, I don't think I could!
Over 60% of my total favs come from the two stories I've posted so far (part 2 of the second Doghead story incoming, it's just being revised!), which in a way means that over half of the favs I've gotten are from stuff that *I* have made, and that makes me a bit happy, even if it's not a lot. The idea that I have finally created stuff, and that people like it to any degree, is incredible to me. I really hope I can make more from this. Maybe in about 60 years I'll draw again and post my second drawing ever to a whopping 5 favs! I'm kidding, of course, but it is at least encouraging to know that... you know, it's possible for me to make something.
I don't think what I make is worthwhile. My writing is subpar and shows a painful lack of experience, and my art is... only art by a technicality. I create so rarely that I don't think I can even call it a hobby yet, and that's essentially the initial bar you could possibly have for a skill. But if even just one person likes it, I guess that means it's not that bad? If art makes someone happy, I think it serves its purpose. And, even if it didn't, defeat should never be a reason for one not to try again. So, uhh... I think I'll keep trying? This is sappy, sorry.
I really hope I can build a following, of any size, because the idea of someone looking forward to something that I do... wow, it just sounds crazy and impossible, but really cool. Maybe someday in the future I'll be able to make someone's day? One can dream, at least, lol. Yeah, it's kind of late, sorry.
