This will be short and sweet. Last night this fic kept me up even though I start to work at 7.15 am ... I haven't finished it yet and it is WIP, but I truly recommend it to all you who enjoy great in-character fics concerning our favourite couple aka the Snarky Professor and the Know-It-All.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears...

no, it's not Shakespeare I need help with... I wish :-)

I simply can't make heads or tails of this sentence regarding politics. If anyone has any clue what this should mean, could you please explain it to me? I'm doing this very important translation from English into Croatian and this simply ( Read more... )

Great things can be found when you least expect it :-)

Love the net!

Yes, I know, I haven't posted anything here in forever but that does not mean I'm not reading friends' posts and lurking every way I can. I guess I just had no incentive to write anything new since I'm working too bloody hard (not that I'm complaining) - I've done a translation of 2 children's books, one world atlas for kids and am still working on ( Read more... )

So, it's the weekend and I'm more rested now so translating is doing ok, unless I get stuck on one thing which I cannot solve for the life of me.

Can anyone help me with something Arthur Schlesinger said to J.F.K when he advised him on dealing with Latin Americans?

Just a drive-by post of me reccing a gorgeous one-shot that had me giggling - which I need badly now since my translation is not going as fast as I would like...

Anyhoo, for those who haven't read it yet I warmly recommend a wonderful Severus / Hermione fic, written by Apollinav

I just got stuck translating something - can anyone help me with the phrase "case could have been resolved on narrow grounds".

This last part is bugging me - what does it mean exactly?

Thanks in advance!

This has been one hell of a week - on Wednesday and Thursday I was up until 2am working on 2 translations for one bank. One was even fun with statistics and all. The second one was only 1.5 pages long but I worked on it forever and had to admit defeat in the end - it almost had me in tears. This head of one department wrote it in English but it was ( Read more... )

After going through the Smashwords.com website - which I liked infinitely more than Kindle Direct publishing - and deciding yes, I could do this, I can probably go through my short stories book and write a few more so that the final book resembles an omnibus novel that it should be... I'm going to try self-publishing with Broken Pieces ( Read more... )

I have to tell you my Muse has finally paid a visit, and I am writing again on my omnibus novel Broken Pieces since I decided I might try self-publishing via Amazon Kindle. Chapter 5 is going nicely and I am so happy about it even if only a few people check this one out after it's done. I feel I need to put it out there. Having work I am proud of ( ( Read more... )
