@StarsinmyT mmmuwa!! hope u thought it was fun hhh

tada! finally a draft i’m happy with~

this kind of iterative work happens in all translations because interpretation is a personal process. once meaning is rendered, the rest is an art, not science - there could be ten other versions, all equally valid & objectively correct 🍃

brainstorming stage!! usually it just looks like this without the specific thoughts typed out; depending on the poem there could be 3-5 versions i pick from at the end.

note: this is a simpler poem (taught to second graders actually) so a simpler, sing-song sound is appropriate.

Underrated benefit of reading a great number & variety of books is that it will make you a more interesting person. As C. S. Lewis said, the person who doesn't read lives in a tiny world; reading lends us the perspective of a thousand lives.
