I have a plan to start writing blog posts and some marketing copy for my freelance solo business site.

I am wondering about how I should write, say, a blog article.

Should I first write it in my native language (Russian), then, when I am satisfied with its quality, translate into English?

Or would I rather write in English from the start?

I find former easier as I divide this quite hard process into 2 phases - copy creation and translation.

What is your experience with such or similar tasks?
