Thoughts about language and stuff

I have read some really stunning literature pieces recently and caught myself thinking how I would like to be able to write like that. Language-wise too. Yeah. However... I do have a mother language and it's not English and I'm striving to write works in English? Why?

Old popularity issue I guess. Together with Twitter, watchers, page views, favs.

I don't have any statics about how many native speakers there are on dA. It's a community for visual arts in the first place where verbal languages aren't the most important. But when you check the literature gallery, there are primarily works in English. And there are people who are trying their best to write in English but aren't native speakers. Many of them. On and off dA. However, the skill to write is the skill to write, no matter in what language. Per definition, it's your "mother language" you know best. If you are good enough and make that language your friend...

But who will read your work?

Ended up moderate while I just felt like saying dA is English lol.
