#sharan talks #i love writing in swedish i can be as superfluous and over the top as i want and no ones there to stop me #english expects more of a script and standard even in prose and the like #whereas with swedish its very heavily encouraged to just go all out however you want with whatever you want as an author #the authors personal voice is something thats strongly valued ime which i like a lot #whereas with english youre always one step away from being hit with the purple prose allegations #that being said i do try to push it subtly in english too #or rather add some of the flavour of my swedish prose in my english prose #which isnt to everyones taste and thats fine #but im having endless amount of fun doing it im telling you!!!!!!!!!! #tbh its been refreshing reading swedish writers blogs and magazines after so many english ones #its always so much about allowing yourself to go crazy and not worry lest you stifle your creativity #and that if you wanna be unorthodox you just gotta prove why the way you went about it was the best choice for it #IDK ITS JUST SO LIKE #english guides always talk about what you SHOULDNT do #and the things they tell you to do are mostly in relation to the things you apparently shouldnt #more performance anxiety inducing to me #i prefer the mentality encouraging to go all the way and be bold and have fun because whats the point otherwise
