As a reader I have spent far more hours, well... years reading in English than my natural Portuguese mother language. Now that I am writing, in Portuguese, I find myself fishing for words I know well in English and then not being able to translate them properly to Portuguese. Like the word/expression idling. Don't know any other writers around here, and do need some help with this. Would it be more profitable to write everything in English and then find a professional translator, or write it all, in Portuguese, and worry about the proper translation of certain words at the time of editing? Don't know if I even am at the right place to ask this, but can't think of another option. Thanks.
