Huh. \u00a0“90, no more like 95%, right.” \u00a0Greg said this during my sight reading this morning. \u00a0“You’ve jumped several levels since our last session.” I’d felt it over the last few weeks of translating, a more than gradual emergence of learning, not like moving up a plateau, more like sprinting past a plateau or two. \u00a0This is an overnight sensation it’s taken me four years to reach. \u00a0I’m grateful for it.<\/p>\n
(ok. \u00a0I don’t actually know what this guy’s saying. \u00a0Anybody else? \u00a0Probably something scatological but it’s a cool graphic. \u00a0It could be, note the necking.)<\/p>\n
I feel accomplished. \u00a0I can actually see a Charles Ellis translation of Ovid’s masterwork, the Metamorphoses, coming into existence. Wow. Give me the geezer high five folks. \u00a0It’s happenin’.<\/p>\n
My next goal is to increase my speed. \u00a0I’d like to get to 12-15 verses an hour with the goal of doing around a 100 verses a week. \u00a0At that rate I could translate the typical Book, there are 15, in around two months to two and a half months. \u00a0The translation would not be polished, of course, but I’d be laying pipe at a credible rate. \u00a0Add in polishing and I could maybe finish in four years, perhaps a little more or a little less. \u00a0Probably less since presumably my facility would grow as I worked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
