How Toys Become Real

"...once you are Real, you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Hi, guys!  Lately this has been pretty much just a writing blog, but according to my tagline, I'm obliged to post multimedia stuff, too.  So, something I do other than writing and art is reading aloud.  It's fun, 'cause to me it's kinda like singing, but less tone-deaf.  For this post, I read The Velveteen Rabbit.



There aren't many readings I feel comfortable posting due to copyright stuff, but since The Velveteen Rabbit's copyright ran out ages ago, it's public domain.  (By the way, I recently made a Wix site about copyright in Comp Tech, so if ya want, you can find it here.)  If you'd like an online copy of The Velveteen Rabbit, I found one here.

That said, here is a video of me reading!  Enjoy!  (Er, enjoy if you have time; it's 25 minutes long.  The story doesn't even start for three.)

And since Blogger won't let me post videos directly (or I would have posted this ages ago), you can find the youtube video here.

One last thing: though I may sound British, I feel I should point out that I'm not actually British.  I read this in an accent because, well, the story just seemed to call for it.  That's all.

Until next post!
