That's an issue I've been struggling with for quite some time.
I'm French. I write in English.
My English is obviously not that great, but it's the language I think in when left to my own devices -- as such, it feels unnatural to write in French, as I would need to translate my thoughts before typing them.
Moreover, with a few exceptions, I prefer books written in English. English is more action-packed than French, which fits with the way I relate to the world.
I often wonder whether I should force myself to write in French, or leave it as is, and hope my English improve enough that I can fake writing it as a first language... I suspect that my ideal writing language would be a mix of both. That's so not an option!
Anyone else with a similar problem?
