In my last chapter, while I was translating it from Spanish to English, someone told me I only translated half of it into English... it's never happened to me before, but I don't understand how tired I was that I didn't notice, haha.

And how do I deal with the ads for hot older women 3km away? Because I already went and didn't find any 🥹
The problem is - no matter how far you go, they always stay 3km away. Trust me, I´ve tried everything!

You should write them directly in English, write them in Spanish, and then translate them; it's double the work.

I finish it, write it in Spanish, then correct it and rewrite it until I finish it, and then I write it in English and correct it again until it's understandable.🤓

I find it hard to fall asleep while moving. When translating from one location to another, I can't fall asleep. Like if I take a transport plane or train, I don't sleep. Also, I find it hard to sleep in general.

You can use DeepL; it's not 100% accurate, but it'll handle most of it for you.

Or, more simply, use AI. Since you already have the content and the intent, using AI in this case shouldn't be seen as laziness or sloppiness. Just don't treat the AI's output as the final result; read it over carefully and make adjustments.

Not me, I practically fall into a coma. After all, right now I'm only sleeping like 4 or 5 hours...😢 and in the morning I have to go back to work. It's like when you want to play a game on your console, you turn it on and start the game, then you wake up and realize you didn't play.
I bet you didn't read the ToS, you have to make them hot by setting the nearest house on fire.

I... i don’t . At first i was writting in french, then translating in english, but no matter how i did it, it never really retranscribed it the way i wished it to be.
In the end, i ENTIERLY rewrote my french written chapters, in english ( since for some reason my perspective of some scenes change from a langage to another... =_=' )
Now, i’m writting all my chapters in english from the ground up. Multiples friend had told me to do so but... mhe. ( For how long did they sang : told you so! In my ears... )
