Great presentation and very useful!

After an initial brief period of technical difficulties with the audio; I thought the presentation was not only well -presented and interesting, but that it also offered a lot of useful and new information, as well. Thanks again for this well-received yearly event, Suzanne: keep up the good work!

Really interesting and many personal questions found answers. For future events, I hope that technical problems will be less important... A great moment

Very interesting, indeed! Kind regards, Emanuela

Time	From	To	Content
13:42 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	i agree, but still
13:43 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	many translators do write
13:43 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	You mean "write" as in "write their own stuff"?
13:43 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I think the idea to do x-writing stems for translators who entered the business because they originally wanted to be a writer, and that didn't work out.
13:44 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	any kind of producing text
13:44 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	nah, maybe for some
13:45 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Sometimes that's the case, but some other times both activities may stem from a love to language, right?
13:45 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	definitely!
13:45 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I wrote when I was younger (i have an incomplete bibliography somewhere on the net), and if people nowadays ask me whether I write, I always say "no". But I'm actually still writing, be it my own stuff on my own blogs and on all kind of media, primairily to promote my work.
13:45 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	I mean, I am a translator and a writer, but I take the two separately. For me, they are miles appart.
13:45 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	well, that's it!
13:46 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I don't like language. I like the content you can distribute using language. That's an entirily different thing.
13:46 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	we do all kinds of things with words
13:46 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	O love both activities, but they give me different satisfactions.
13:47 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	words, words, words...thats the beauty of it. use them any way you wish
13:47 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	amen!
13:47 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	jejeje
13:47 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	:)
13:47 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Mind you, I don't mean I hate language, I only mean language gives the possibility to convey meaning. That might be a technical manual, but it might also be a story.
13:48 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	@Peter: what kind of writing did you do in the past?
13:48 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Just curious
13:48 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	it's ok Peter, we get you
13:48 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Science fiction. Some fantasy. And some other things. Nowadays it's primarily non-fiction.
13:48 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	nice...
13:49 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	love both genres
