So, let's talk for a moment. I've been in a real rut for the past few months. It's not that I've run out of ideas or that I've decided to quit writing. I just don't know how to get going. I have all the resources: a new laptop, a smart pen that can type out handwriting, a new desk. I even have a work schedule that allows me enough time to write. I just can't get going. I'm stuck. And that's a real problem. And the reason is that I write in my native language and then translate it into English. And the problem isn't the grammar. The problem is that I have to adapt to the English language. I've been writing for English for 5 years and I didn't realize that I was losing myself. My uniqueness is being dissolved in too many boxes. Many jokes that are normal for me, my husband, my family, my colleagues and friends and most of my country either don't translate into English or are incomprehensible. It's not bad, I don't see anything negative in it. I think many foreign authors have faced this problem. But my language, writing in my native language, is a big part of me. I like English, it structures, it takes all the fluff out of the text. It doesn't let me spend 1000 words describing one room or feelings. But it limits me a lot. I have to make sentences shorter, from one Russian sentence I get 3 to 5 in English and it's incredible! I needed a break to remember who I am. What kind of writer I really am. I felt that my style had changed and not for the better. And I want more. I've written about this before. I want to become a real writer and make money from it. I've thought about a lot of things these months. I'm not trying to attract more attention to myself. I want to share my thoughts with you, because everyone who supported me on Wattpad has become very close to me. I want you to know that by the end of the year I plan to finish the books I started writing here and take a break for a few months to focus on myself and my career.

@Dasha_LT_Ray Hey sweetie, I don't know if I can add much to what has already been said so eloquently by @EJane101, @yogi103 and @lestwins101. I have always been in awe of someone that can write in another language, translated or not, to be that courageous and confident, even if it feel like you're not.  Your writing has improved in leaps and bounds since you first started, and I particularly love the colloquialisms you use, which I'm sure originate in your native language.  Some phrases, sentences and paragraphs that you've written will stay with me always.  If writing and being published in your native language is your dream, of course you must chase it.  You'll regret it if you don't.  We'll always be here, your faithful from day one.  Bon chance !

@lestwins101 I never wanted to give up! I want to write, I love it. And I will keep writing. That's what I'm talking about. Each of you has taught me something. And I'm grateful for those lessons. But for a while, I want to focus on myself. Focus on writing books in my native language. This is what I've always wanted - to be a writer. And for the last 5 years, I've been hiding behind my fears and insecurities. And I want to end it all in one fell swoop, like ripping a wax strip off leg.

Dasha, I’ve always seen a special something in the way you write, you have your very own unique way of writing and you’ve managed to make me enjoy your stories despite your grammatical difficulties in the beginning. As a non-english speaker myself, I know exactly how hard it is to convey your messages truthfully in a foreign language. I hope you can look back at your beginnings and appreciate the beautiful and very notable improvements you have made. Don’t let me, or anyone else discourage you from writing. Writing is an outlet, it’s a passion, it’s a calling and even if you go and focus on yourself (which is good), trust and believe you’ll eventually find your way back to writing stories. I also lost my own confidence many many times along the way, but what’s important is to never forget the fun in it and the healing energy that crafting your own stories and bringing them to life will have on your soul

          Looks like I've decided to make up for my long break with more updates! I present to you a new, light, and short love story! I swear when I finish it, I'll be done with this book and stop bothering you! This is my favorite category of stories "stories written on the knee". I hope you can say something good about them! Love you all!
