Is a waste of time trying to become a writer in a language you're not native?

Is a waste of time trying to become a writer in a language you're not native?

Would I be better paying a japanese translator?

>you cant have a hobby

That depends on your fluency and relationship with the non-native language.

Wow nobody said that, but you have to admit that wanting to write a novel in Japanese is top tier weeb move.

I'm not a weeb because I dont worship japan.

I just want to work in the anime industry.

not even Borges could do it

Idk some people manage to do it, such as Joseph Conrad and Ayn Rand but you need to be exceptionally receptive to languages

they're not particular advanced writers in english.

I can agree on Ayn Rand, not so sure about Conrad

They may call you a weeb now but user, remember, when your novel "I died and reincarnated as an autist" takes off, these same anons will be making threads about your work on Any Forums, you will be cooming to high-quality hentai of your characters on /h/ and if you're lucky, there will even be threads dedicated to posting gifs of your female characters taking BBC on /gif/.

Godspeed user. Don't let your dreams be dreams.

okay, but I need a translator.

>Is a waste of time trying to become a writer
Yes

Well damn, learn the language as much as you can first.

>implying you don't want to learn jap because of animey, which is as consoomerist as it gets

I dont like anime, I want to work in the anime industry.

>Japanese
You'll be between 40 and 50 by the time you're ready, and that's if you study several hours a day.

I find 99% of animes to be poorly written, to a really bad level.

but anime is the only animation industry right now on the planet beyond american pozzed jewish cartoon garbage and irrelevant french industry.

Nabokov is particularly appreciated for his "exotic" English, so potentially not being a native can give you a peculiar style that may be appreciated. You really need to master the language though.

Yeah, I'm going with based.
