After I sorted out what would be some of the main books I’ll be using as reference material it came to a total of 15 books. This isn’t bad if it wasn’t for the fact it’s for my magazine project, that’s due at the end of the month. What bites is that some of these I have to re-read and others just completely read it. Since I love to fully get involved in any subject I am doing, and also I have to factor any other personal issues, I might not be able to read everything. But because some of the books I chose was ones I’ve read I’m just going to go through for a refresher, but it’s the books I haven’t read that worries me. Since I’m also trying to find at least a job, to just get by, my family would see me just reading and not “working” would put me up as lazy.
But the whole point of my magazine project is to show off more than just my design work, but also show casing time management skills, my writing skills, and the fact I can handle multiple subjects instead of one or two at a time.
Because this issue is not going to be featuring my friends fan-art I’m left to do everything thing, even the illustrations to go along side my writing. But I trust myself that I will be able to get it done, it’s my family that I’m worried about. Because every time I need to get something important done, that would benefit me in the long run (in my career), they come along and mess everything up. I grew up having to drop everything I was doing to help them out. But now, older, it’s hard to put my foot down. But for this “all about books” magazine issue I have no choice but to put my foot down. Wish me luck.
