Finished the rewrites of two Zero Hero episodes.  Whew, it is so hard to change what I wrote but that is the life of a writer.  I needed to adjust the stories to make them easier to cartoon.
One of the lessons I am learning working on Zero Hero with the Creatvtoon people is that a writer must be flexible.  What I think would make a good gag, a cute joke for our target audience is not necessarily a good scene for an animator to draw.
It is also a lesson of life.  Life never happens the way we script it out.  There are changes that need to be made to adjust to events, planned and unplanned.  Those who are able to rewrite the story of their day will find more contentment in life.  Those who resist, refuse to adjust or rewrite will find nothing but frustration and disappointment.  What do you need to rewrite today?

Whew, just turned in my 12th Zero Hero animated episode.  It has been a great learning experience.  The difficulty is creating new storylines while keeping as much the same as possible to facilitate the animation process.  The old Hollywood adage applies; we want more of the same only different.  It is rewarding when the chief animator at the CreatvToon Studios tells me that my stories translate well to the storyboard.  I am looking forward to when the first episodes are completed.  Until then, it is back to the computer and the continued adventures of Nat, Tok and Tom the Tapir.

Calvin sees his job in keeping watch on the neighborhood.  I remember the first time I celebrated the coming of the new year as a child.  At midnight, I stood at the front door and watched the street.  I expected something to happen; a cloud or a wave of energy to pass through town.  But nothing happened.  Everything was the same.  Today, and over the next few days, people will expect life to be different but it will not.  The New Year will be what we make of it.  So, let us make this a great year.  Dream big, make sure God is in your dreams then go for them.  HAPPY HEW YEAR!!
