Question: Should I become a!.!.!. !?
French, an English or a Franco-English writer!?I'm bilingual and an inspiring writer!.French is my mother tongue, I wrote beautifully with nice stylistic figures in French!.When it comes to English, I can come up with nice stories but it's quiet complicated when people don't get what I mean with my metaphors!.I do write well in English but I'm not ready yet to write excellent fiction in that language!. So I was Wonder ring if I should keep writing in English till I get better!? or should I stick to my French writing and never developed the opportunity to express my muse in a different language!? Or, should I mix French and English in my writing!? I must admit that the last option looks Very appealing to me!. I once combined the two languages in a short story and some people said they like my style!. If I combine 2 languages in my writing, it will be for bilingual people and for students who are learning either English or French!. I didn't want to adopt the English language only even though I am leaving in an English speaking country now because I was afraid that by abandoning French, I would estranged myself from my culture!.But now I am a multicultural person and I embraced both the French and the American culture equally so what do you guys think!?

I also have to take in mine that I will have more people to buy my books (hopefully) if they are in English because I am in an English speaking country and I might be easier to find an editor!. Otherwise I would have to do some outrageous advertising campaign to reach Franco-English people outside and inside the US to buy my books!.
Any idea!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The language you write in is by far less important than the quality of the writing!. If you plan on writing fiction, work on writing compelling, interesting stories that people will want to read!. They can always be translated into any language at a later date!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
