Participation in the advent calendar

There is a community where people from overseas who want to learn Japanese and Japanese who want to learn English meet.
I have not been very active there recently.
However, I received a mention encouraging me to participate in the Advent Calendar.
They said there was a shortage of Japanese who write in English.

It sounded interesting, so I decided to get involved.
When it comes to writing in English myself, I can't do it right away.
I promised to take part on 9 December.

I immediately got an idea of what I wanted to write about, so I started writing.
After the sun went down, I remembered that I had to go to work tomorrow.
I had to use the shower.

I wrote without using a translator, looking at the dictionary first.
I checked the sentences I had written with the translator to see if there were any strange parts.
But I have only written 3/5 of the whole sentence.
Tomorrow I might take my computer and write in a café.

If I don't finish it while I have the motivation, I'll forget about it.
I set a reminder.
Instead of writing in Japanese and translating it, I write directly in English.
It's a lot of fun.
