Smaller linguistic communities tend to be enthusiastic about books written in their language instead of simply translated. And you can always get it translated into English later. When I was in Estonia I was stunned at how much writing and publishing was going on in Estonian despite there being fewer than a million speakers in the country. I blogged about it here. Maybe it will give you some inspiration!<br /><br />http://www.gadling.com/2013/02/25/estonian-art-and-literature-big-ideas-in-a-small-country/Sean McLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778503397743759469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-64900305152803564352014-01-23T06:06:44.314+02:002014-01-23T06:06:44.314+02:00You already said this but yes, you will do this be...You already said this but yes, you will do this because you are brave.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-69440244396202734242014-01-23T04:15:38.615+02:002014-01-23T04:15:38.615+02:00Good luck!!!

The time will pass anyway." ~Earl Nightingale<br /><br />It's one of my favorite quotes, and I thought it applied perfectly to your post today. I think it was meant to encourage persistence in going for a dream that seems a long time to achieve. But it works for shortened time, too. If you don't go for it, in October you'll wish you had. So go for it! You lose out on nothing if you try.
