Translation, Anticipation
This week, I finished something I’d been wanting to do for a while: I finished translating a story of mine into Spanish. Because of the more challenging aspects of my upcoming story This Is Not My Adventure (specifically, how it combines first-person and second-person, direct address POVs), I chose it for translation. Given that the story is not yet out, much less out of its exclusivity period, this was more of a playful challenge than anything else. Plus, I’m not sure if it’s actually well-translated (I’d like to think so, but . . .)
I suppose this is what happens when I’m waiting for my story to be free to read online. I’m not sure if it will be well-received, but I sure hope that’s the case. I also found out my upcoming story got reviewed over at Rocket Stack Rank, which whatever their flaws, made me feel like I’d “made it” after many years (I added a link to their review over at Press & Reviews).
