Hello!
"International District" Seemed an appropriate place to get some insight into your minds.
Firstly, to explain myself.
I was born in Norway and then spent half my life traveling in between Norway and Sweden, the countries are similar and so is the language but different enough so i had to learn Swedish.
I then spent a few months in Africa and picked up Swahili, although that is a language I cant quite say I'm fluent in anymore. 6 years with German taught me that and having an Argentinian Aunt taught me Spanish.
I moved to England and stayed there for 2 years before finishing up in Ireland.
I am now back to frequently crossing the border between Norway and Sweden.
SO, sometimes I find it hard to decide which language the novel, book, poem etc. should be in.
Have you ever had this problem? And if so, how did you solve it? Do you write in different languages?
And bonus question:
Do you find you write differently, as in your style changes, when you swap language?
Thanks for reading, I didn't mean to go on and on, and feel free to explain your dilemma and how you got there!
