For me writing in English is like swimming in the sea (with a boat or a beach near me). Sometimes I feel confidence and I can swim without difficulty. I remember the names of some of its creatures and I like it. But when the sea reminds me its magnitude and that there are many things unknown for me, I lose my concentration and my confidence… So I just try to remember things that I know in order to improve my stroke and not to feel suffocated by the uncovered creatures and water of the sea: English language.
Writing in French is like to write in English. The difference is that I see more colors in the warm water of French Language, and that I know much better its creatures. Thus I understand its rhythm and its sound...
It is less unknown for me, but when I feel its vastness also I remember that I have to improve my broke and my knowledge about it.
Writing in Spanish is like being a fish or a turtle or a whale in the sea of Spanish Language. I just need listen to my soul and my thoughts to arrive where I want… because I‘m part of this sea. Writing in Spanish is a kind of freedom for my feelings.

ReplyDeleteIt's clear that writing for you it's like being in the ocean. The main difference I found is when you're writing in spanish you're definitely part of the ocean life, like a whale. I love that. Writing in English and in French, as I understand your words, it's like exploring from the outside the ocean in which every human being lives, talks and loves each other.
ReplyDelete...and every creature in this ocean, of course.
ReplyDeleteI see that fear u can't avoid when swimming like a ghost creature or a dream, and then when you tell about it, it ends up being a marvelous creature in a wonderful picture..
ReplyDeleteMaybe I used metaphors related with the sea because I miss "him" ... And because it is as huge or great as languages for me.
ReplyDeleteJJEJE...but I don't want to be a ghost creature...
(All your words -really- give me encourage!! TankU) Do you see the power of the words? jeje... Seriously...
