"Actually, it goes the other way
Wouldn't it be great to be gifted? In fact...
It turns out that choices lead to habits.
Habits become talents.
Talents are labeled gifts.
You're not born this way, you get this way."

The Very Hungry Zombie: A Tale of Ravenous Reanimation
My bestie Alicia VanNoy Call (aka Lee) wrote and illustrated an extremely cute, genius, and hilarious children's story app (for iphone and ipad) back when I wrote my "Kitty Wants" app, about a zombie who swallows one thing after another desperate for relief - it's a play off "There was an old woman who swallowed a fly." It's cute, and I can't help laughing out loud when I read it.
Tale Spring's Best App Contest WINNER: Alicia VanNoy Call with her app "The Very Hungry Zombie: A Tale of Ravenous Reanimation!" (it's that good, you'll love it!)

YSYS: "Spin???"
I finished this last week but forgot to post it!!
I love it. I'll need to go in and fix his eyes later though. They're kinda scary... his iris just needs to be bigger cuz it looks like he has just scary white eyes. lol
Yup. Bug told him to spin when he dances.
So he did.
YSYS: Walk like this???
Just finished it!!!
And um.... I kinda really like this one. :) Is it okay to say that?
Checking In
Social life?:
Oh. My. Goodness, people. I'm painting and drawing like a crazy person. Or like an illustrator. Seriously I have passed up like a million social events because I have to get this book done!! But. Tonight I'm celebrating my roommate's birthday, and tomorrow I'm going ice skating. No matter what.

YSYS: GIRAFFES, CLIMAX, & ABUSE
Here we meet our story's climax!! Hippo has been told what to do with his time, how to sing, how to dance, how to walk, what to wear, and now he's being told that a very part of him which he's had since birth - his spot - is not okay. That he needs to get rid of it. Hippo, unsure of himself and desperate for friendship, has obeyed every "should" so far. And how he's letting Giraffe tell him he's not good enough, and allowing some hands-on intervention. Here he is, sitting through this torture, and taking this abuse. Giraffe is crossing some serious boundaries here. Hippo has a choice... does he let this go on or does he take a stand??
