When writing, scenes come to my mind in different languages mixed together. For example in a single scene a description will be in French, some dialogues in English, with a few words of Spanish and Occitan appearing here and there. Sometimes a single sentence contains three different languages. The result can be an incomprehensible mess. How should I proceed? Should I write everything as it comes and have an editing phase later? Or should I try to translate my thought during the writing process? Are there exercises or rules I could follow to help me control/focus my thoughts?
