Me and Chris used to hang out practically every weekend at his place reading comics, playing Marvel, Star Wars and Rift RPG games. That was way back in high school. We had our own little world of action and from those awesome scenarios was born great ideas that were truly worthy of being comic book graphic novels. Since then, we each kept the burning desire and love of comics flowing in our blood and waiting for the right time to do it on our own. The technology is here and now and we now can self publish our own books using the world wide web and being part of great communities like Z2H. I think it's important to share and support each others ideas since we are possibly the artists, writers, colorist, letterers and graphic designers of tomorrow's comic book industry.
Later we will be able to look back and say " Oh yeah ! I remember when this project or that person submitted his comic pitch on this site and we were all reading it and giving it our feedback in order to push the concept further and make it better. In a way we were all part of that creating title that made it a successful comic that it is today....we should all be proud and grateful that it went this far and keep making fans wanting to read more of this title. " ;)

Case in point - if you look at the credits of many of the CCN winners they highlighted community members who helped them revise and refine their pitches to get them where they are now.

I can't tell you how valuable the feedback here is. Just the knowledge that people are paying attention makes me work harder, and write a little better.

Like one of my friends with whom I went to High School said:
" Jc, always keep in the back of your mind that where ever you are, your overall environment will always influence your attitude to a certain degree."
" The day that your attitude will influence your overall environment, that's when you know that you have good karma within you, and that my friend...is a very good thing to have in life."
So the moral of the day kids is this: If you hang out with positive and creative people, you will become positive and creative with them because your attitude will change and adapt a different mindset. ;)

Amen to that.
