I better think again and again at this issue, but that's what I'm wondering about in these days: keeping a travel log in English. Wouldn't be cool? Way more followers worldwide - I'm gonna travel english-speaking countries, useful thing writing in their tongue, right? - and maybe some little improvements in my written language. Great.
But, as everything, the decision hides pros and cons. The cons (con, is just one, is singular) specifically being:
having to spend hours after hours pondering words, using WordReference to even up the quality of your writing, correcting mistakes.
Can you folks imagine me, my tent set up at a free campsite in a National Forest Service spot in the Dixie National Forest, Utah, my pc battery running dangerously low, and the dickheaded occupant of the tent writing in English about his day tramping in the woods, cursing and correcting mistakes?
Just ravens, chipmunks and occasional lizards surrounds me. Me, I'm cursing in the woods. Eventually my pc runs out of battery. "S**T!", a voice screams out loud, ravens darting off the trees' limbs, looking for safety.
That's me.
Oh, and there's another con, of course.
Being worldwide known as a bad, bad English writer. Nobody'd even think to deal with me. It's like writing and delivering a resume to a potential employer, knowing you're not able to write.
That's it.
But, the adventure I'm going to undertake is challenging, pretty challenging, and a part of the adventure would be to keep this travel log as much as possible in English.
As much as my mental, psyco-physical stability and health will allow me.
You bet, I'm gonna try.
