my dear friends, just to tell you that I have just been paid for my translation..I am very happy because, even though it is only a little thing, I hope it will be the first of many others..I like English and I like making English to Italian translations..It is difficult finding good jobs and above all, being paid (seeing I am always translating for my University but never got a euro!!!). Thanks to everybody who send me their encouragement and congratulations last time and to people who read me for the first time I say...keep on trying and looking for what you like the most!

Hello,maribea,congratulations for the payment,it is a good thing that you can earn some money from your interests and you can use your language skills in the job. I think you should be able to find some more translation jobs later which will pay you much better.
GOod luck.

oh my friend, you are one of my "writing" supporter!!! hope you don't mind me calling you like this but you are one of the few people who share with me my enthusiasm for writing and I thank you for remimding me as a writer, too...I wish I could earn something as a writer one day or another..but even if it doesn't happen, I am writing anyway..words are always in my mind and I am always writing something..because words urge to be written!!! and it is a wonderful sensation..something I cannot control and that I like very much about myself
