The positive side effect of engaging in a self-imposed daily marathon of writing in Ukrainian is that now writing in English feels exceptionally easy.
I have written 50,000 words in my Ukrainian book since April. I don’t think people realize how crazy that is given that I never spoke Ukrainian in my daily life and was incapable of writing even a page in it until April. My only published article in Ukrainian was translated by my father because I couldn’t do it.
It’s really nuts, that’s what it is.
