I was reading on one of the threads in non-met, and somebody -- I think it was Janice -- said that a writer has to earn the right to write in a second language. Personally, I find it freeing to write in a second language and was doing so long before I had "earned" the right (I'm not sure exactly what that means, anyway). I feel that I can avoid cliches better and am able to look at words from a new perspective. Even now, I would probably be spotted as a non-native speaker (of Spanish), however.

Does anybody else write in 2nd languages? What do you think of earning the right, versus freeing yourself from the burdens of the native language?

Jill
