Sunday? Nope. Workday!

I think Sundays are the days when I end up working the most, all thanks to Kiran ma'am's 9 pm submissions. I woke up and I sat to make the analytical diagram. It wasn't difficult, but it took a lot of back and forth to my match my work with Aditi's expectation. I think at some point she was annoyed. But she never said anything. She's nice like that. Both of them are. They kind of acknowledge the fact that I still need to learn and am obviously not at their level, or even close. I realized that even though I knew advanced illustrator stuff, I didn't know the basics like adding arrowheads. I used to sit and draw arrowheads.

I made 3 sheets. One was just pictures, two were plans. But I felt nice. I know I didn't work as much as the others did I felt like I contributed something. I didn't do anything today other than working on the 2 sheets. 

I wrote my intro though. After a lot of thinking. I tried keeping it very honest. I spoke about my blog. This is what I wrote:

Hi,

I’m Priya. If you ask me why you should pick me, I have no solid answer to that question. One reason could be that I would really love to be part of the Black Table Editorial. I love to write. My biggest dream is probably publishing my own book. I write blogs. I have two blogs of my own and I manage my studio’s blog. I don’t know if I’m very good at it, I guess I’m okay. I also make some simple tiny illustrations once in a while, again I’m no expert. But I’m definitely willing to learn. I’d love to learn. To be honest, I’d prefer losing sleep over font sizes than over plans and sections. Another reason is that I have always wanted to be a part of an editorial team and I think this is the perfect opportunity for me to experience it. Hoping to hear from you soon.

P.S. I’m confident I can manage coursework along with being part of the Black Table Editorial.

I'd asked a couple of friends for opinion, but I thought it wouldn't,t be right. After all, what's the point of getting into an editorial team if a friend wrote the intro for me. I hope I didn't offend the team by being too informal. Kiran ma'am was once impressed by my honesty, I hope they will also be.

The two sheets that I worked on.
