It's the little things, really. I've said --repeatedly-- of late that I do my freelance writing just for fun, because goodness knows it doesn't pay much at all. But despite my claims, I've been thinking of taking a long break, just out a frustration with the sheer lack of traffic most of my pieces receive. Then this happened.

For some reason, Yahoo apparently decided to let this one random little article of mine through to its front page. And my traffic absolutely skyrocketed.

Again, it's a small thing that, in the grand scheme of my life, doesn't matter much at all. But it gave me a little motivation to keep plugging away, and I'm thankful to finally get some encouragement.
