It's way past midnight as I'm typing this, but I thought I'll just leave a quick update on how things are with this blog.
Have been especially busy with IRL responsibilities. Plus things have happened in my personal life these couple of months, which thankfully have settled down. (Not the IRL work though, that's not slowing down any time soon, I'm afraid.)
I have a huge backlog of work still sitting in my folders, a few left with only the odd untranslated line here and there (those tend to be the more challenging phrases that I need time to mull over). I don't feel like compromising too much on the quality (takes the fun out of it, really), and I think many of the songs I'm working on deserves a good elaboration for context, especially the 忘川风华录 series that I'm a big fan of, but it's difficult to translate due to the frequent use of archaic language and reference to historical stories that I am not familiar with, so that demands time for research and write-up. My fickle tendency to randomly start translating any song I fancy when I get tired of IRL work, instead of consistently seeing one to the end before starting the next, doesn't help much. But hey, I'll reserve that kind of discipline for IRL obligations (which is already pity little - also I realize I have a thing with parentheses).
So I will be taking it slow for now. I love doing this and I hope I can at least get a few songs out this year, building on what I have already started.
As always, have an awesome day, and thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
