I was tagged by the beautiful person behind bumblebeeboat (because she is the only person who cares that this log exists) to do this tagy thing so hey, lets go. 

Physical Book or eBook: Physical books for anything that has actually been published by a publisher but since I read mostly fanfiction, most of my reading is done online.

Audiobook or In Hand: Most things I read “in hand” but I’ve listened to a couple audio books recently like I listened to the audio book of Good Omens: the Nice and Accurate prophesies of Angus Nutter, Witch and it was a magical experience

Paperback or Hardcover: I don’t really have much of a preference. I guess hard cover unless I’m buying it because paperback is cheaper and I prefer cheap things

Adult or Young Adult: Young Adult. I’m not quite to the age where I can relate to adult people problems. And also It’s 100 times more annoying where the writing in adult books is bad then when the writing is bad in YA books.

Series or Standalone:
 Standalone just because its less commitment. When you read stand alone books you can get more crazy premises that you can experience. Also the author is forced to tie up loose ends a bit more.

Dog Ears or Bookmarks: 
Bookmarks. It’s not that I’m against dog earing, I just never think to do it. If I don’t have a book make I am more likely to just remember my page and close the book that dog ear.

Breaking the Spine or Barely Opening the Book: 
I really do not care what happens with the spine. It just does what is does what ever way i most comfortable to hold the book.

Borrow or Buy: Borrow. I actually use the library as it is (support libraries, yo.). Crazy, I know. I also borrow books from friends sometimes. I do buy some books, especially if I want a certain book that’s new or something.

Bookstore or Online: Bookstore unless its a really specific book.

Fiction or Nonfiction: “Fiction, real life is boring as hell” this is what Anna said and I agree.

Fantasy World or Real Life Issues: I don’t have much of a preference. Lately I’ve been leaning towards real life but that’s just cause nothing fantasy-esque is striking my fancy.

Kindle, iPad or Other: iphone

Monster Read or Short and Sweet: On the long side of short and sweet. not only do I not like to carry around huge books but also I don’t get invested enough into books to books to read them for that long. I have stopped reading books that couldn’t hold my attention half way though and have never looked back.

Starry-Eyed Romance or Full of Action: what can I say, I’m a sucker for some cheesy romance. less so now than before but still. 

Read the Review or Decide Yourself: Decide for myself. I will look at the ratings of things but won’t really read reviews.

The self taught route is tough ! but it can be done , but it basically comes with being your own job..being your own school.  People who are self taught dont just do it as a hobby ...its a commitment to your craft each day. If you want to go the self taught route you can but you have to gather up those resources and really stick to it. you have to COMMIT to yourself and believe me theres no ‘ eh ill do this tomorrow ‘ . Animation is a TOUGH thing to learn on its own ,but its been known to be done but only by the most dedicated of people. :) 

now with this being said , this is about an animation career. if you’re just doing it as an interest or a hobby then perhaps you can take it at a different pace. but if you’re looking to compete with people who are out of school and are taught by people in the industry you gotta go hardcore.
