(Feb 29th 2012 02:28)Making a new habit
• I haven’t written any entries in English for a few days.
• To tell the truth, it's been more than a week.
• It's not easy to make a new habit without effort.(Making a new habit is not easy without trying. )
• I just have been writing Chinese entries for the last week, because writing in Chinese is easier than in English.
• Maybe I'm trying to avoid facing the difficulty of writing English.
• I'd better get into the habit of writing English entries even if it's not easy for me.
• I feel I need get into the habit of writing in English without stopping.
• I should just try to do it frequently and steadily, even if it's short and low level stuff.
• I feel the most important thing is to get into the habit of it.

한동안 영어일기를 안 썼다.
사실 말하자면 일주일도 넘었다.
노력없이 새로운 습관을 들이기는 정말 쉽지 않다.
내게는 중국어가 영어보다 쉽기 때문에 지난 일주일간 중국어 일기만 썼다.
아마도 나 자신이 영어로 쓰는 힘든 것을 피하고 싶어하기 때문일 것이다.

그래서....
영어로 일기를 쓰는 습관을 들여야겠다, 비록 그것이 그리 쉽지 않더라도.

멈추지 않고 영어로 써 보는 습관을 들여야 함을 느낀다.
자주 그리고 꾸준하게, 설사 그 영어가 짧고 단순한 것일지라 하더라도..

가장 중요한 점은 쓰는 자체가 내 습관이 되어야 하는 것이다.

Correction:

I feel I need "to" get into the habit of writing in English without stopping.

Good work! Keep it up! I agree with all your ideas here, by the way. :)

This is a little off the subject. A while back you mentioned the Korean term "deep night" and I think I said the term doesn't exist in English. True. But I have been haunted by it ever since. Actually, I quite like it, and I plan to start introducing "deep night" into both my spoken and written English. Thanks for the term!
