Congrats, Swimmer. That’s very cool. So far my proudest moment is getting one of my short stories published in a literary magazine (happened a month back).
See, I think it's especially a proud moment when something that you made up in your head by your own little self gets some sort of public recognition by someone other than your family who have to like everything you do or your poor girlfriend/wife who says it's good just because she loves you.
Agreed. And it doesn't hurt to have worked years at your craft before you see all your hard (and fun) efforts paid off.
