guys, lmk

hey guys, so i’m writing a short story. let me know if you’d be interested in me making a side blog for my writing projects.

He felt the warmth of her hand on his face and with that he looked down. She was small, she had an angelic face and he was so madly in love with her.

If you're a writer and you see this post, stop what you're doing.

WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS POST ON YOUR DASH, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WRITE ONE SENTENCE FOR YOUR CURRENT PROJECT.

Just one sentence. Stop blogging for one minute and write a single sentence. It could be dialogue, it could be a nice description of scenery, it could be a metaphor, I don’t care. The point is, do it. Then, when you finish, you can get back to blogging.

If this gets viral, you might just have your novel finished by next Tuesday.

polish and german

so i am currently learning polish and german. here are a few sentences in the languages and then i'll tell you guys what i think the hardest grammar parts are for me so far.

polish:

•jestem zakochana (i am in love)

•dzień dobry, nazywam się g.(good day, my name is g.)

german:

•Ich bin ein Mädchen(i am a girl)

•Das Essen schmeckt gut.(the food tastes good.)

so for polish, spelling is super hard when using phonetics because polish letters are different than the phonetic alphabet we use in english. also the cases are extremely confusing.

for german, spelling is usually very easy and the grammar is pretty easy as well because it resembles english.

both languages are going to have their own difficulties depending on what type of learner you are. i learn well through reading so german is easy because it reads easy while polish is more easily learned for me through hearing.

i would recommend picking up german if you want to be able to have a job in a scientific field because a lot of science vocabulary derives from german and so do a lot of theory's such as Schrödinger's Cat.

polish is a language that while not practical for use in America, would help you very much in european countries and would add another language to your arsenal!

i hope you guys enjoyed this post!! request what you want me to do next!!
