I enjoyed this post. I l...Good morning, Charmaine,<br /><br />I enjoyed this post. I like the way you structured it. <br /><br />When my daughter was very young, about two or three, she saw a spider descending on a gossamer string from my ironing board and screamed in terror. I told her it was Charlotte. She instantly calmed. Since then, spiders are welcome little creatures in our home. They keep the populations of the truly hideous bugs-- centipedes, roaches-- at bay.<br /><br />All right, now I'm done preaching, on to zombies. I have actually always harbored a deep disgust, as well. And, in one manuscript, I had a character dress up as a Zombie doll for Halloween. She claimed she was like a deteriorating Barbie doll-- aggressively anti-objectification.<br /><br />I think I put that in there for the same reason you did. I have been surprised at how many bloggers have copped up to this phobia of late, actually.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-88794562480117115192011-10-25T22:23:28.964+10:002011-10-25T22:23:28.964+10:00OMG, I'm sticking with picture books.

They keep pages turning and keep readers and their nerves on end. Ahhhh!<br /><br />My son's name is Zane too-how funny!<br /><br />Keep Writing Charmaine.
