Writing in different languages
“Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for
sins committed in previous lives. The English reading public explains the
reason why.” James
Joyce quotes (Irish novelist, 1882-1941)
I already explored what it means writing in English for
me, and the amazing thing is that I still believed is like to ride a horse,
because even though I don’t know how to do it I like it, and I feel afraid of
do it, because I think that although I try to improve it I never reach the
level I want to have, In both I feel a little comfortable, but not quite at
all. The freedom is limited by fear and insecurity of doing wrong, of being
wrong, of mockery, of falling. Anyway sometimes I take the risk of trying, and
in those times of trying the excitement and adrenaline dampen that fear. So I
keep on rode through the English words.
French script for me in is kind of complicated, maybe so much
as waking up early in the mornings, the sensation of feeling close the Monday,
or worse, waking up early on Mondays and feeling not myself well, sometimes I
think it is strange, because is kind of a new beginning, but is also the
responsibility of doing things, realize different duties and
obligations, queuing at banks, standing on the bus for an hour or more, feeling
the heat and fatigue of the noon. I don’t feel comfortable writing in French I
hope to learn it somehow, but right now I am not so good at it.
Spanish is so different to me, obviously because is my mother
language, It flows very easy, but I want to clarified that I not an expert just
because is my mother language. Writing in Spanish for me is like to imagine
flying between yellow and blue butterflies, I can become dreams, illusions in
real just by writing, is like a magic carpet that allows me to travel wherever
I want. I just like that.
Relationship between writing
and thinking
(Micro written practice)
There are
many human process that are interconnected each other, that of course are
really important to make physical things happen, but all star in with a mental
process: to think then to do it. In that case writing follows the thinking
process. Anything that is written must be thinking first, or twice. But is not an
easy process, even when the idea is on the mind is difficult to write it.

Sometimes I take the risk of trying, and in those times of trying, the excitement and adrenaline dampen that fear. So I keep on riding through the English words.

Thank you Diego, I appreciated what you have done for me, but I think you did not have to correct me literally, I think (if I'm not wrong) you had to criticize and give me ideas from your point of view as a reader. But thanks, because I find it helpful anyway and I know you did it with good purposes.(happy face).
