seshat's blog post - Why take the easy route...

... when you can take the hard route?

I've been writing a story for several weeks now, in between the chaos of work and life, and it's not going very smoothly... I'm a slow writer anyway, but the fact that I decided to take part in a competition in French does not help...

I love the way writing in French teaches me so much vocabulary (endless researching of synonyms and translations), but it's quite frustrating that it's twice as slow as writing in English... Especially since the deadline is tomorrow! Crap, as if I don't have enough deadlines at work, I just had to add some to my private life too

Strange observation though: my writing style is different in French. Funny how just switching languages can change moods, interpretations, styles... In fact, I'm not even sure if I'm capable of translating my own texts from French to English, which is quite shameful actually.

Anyway, all this to say that I gave myself quite a challenge, so I'd better stop blogging and get back to my story
