That's made me a worse translator than I meant to be at this point in my career, and has left me with no secure foothold of talent to draw on. A couple blog entries isn't going to solve that problem, but I need to be working on it, one way or another.
Of course, my day to day paychecks still depend very much on how well I write (again, not especially well), but I'm also staring down the barrel of the single more important piece of writing I've put together in a long, long time: my PERSONAL STATEMENT for law school applications.
So, while I tread water and worry about my visa, I'm going to try and write a bit more often, in a more freeform idiom than the sort of translation I usually grind away on. I'm gonna blog.
