I am writing the story for my Tales of the Slayer ficathon assignment. And it’s killing me! It exists nicely in my head, I walk the street with perfect dialogues going on in my brains, cool phrases and so on. Then I am sitting here, fingers on the keyboard – and the words don’t want to come outside.
I also feel that I will write a post with historical and geographical footnotes and illustrations afterwards. Or should I add the illustrations in the text?

I probably should put all that energy into something useful.

Deeply ashamed? You should be so proud! You're writing good fic in a second language! I'm just awed by that achievement.

Thank you, but I am studying English for so long! It’s not cool anymore to get discount, because it is my second language. I am resigned to the fact that I speak with an accent, but I’d love to write better, at least not to make most obvious mistakes.

It's still fine to get allowances made, trust me. I know a smattering of French and German, that's all; simply can't imagine being fluent enough to write fic in a different language; you're very clever indeed.
