You said that you are primarily a linguist and only got interested in mythology after the language. What did you see yourself doing just with languages when you were, say, an undergrad student, and what do you currently want to do - just teaching Old Norse, some kind of work on the sociolinguistics of North Germanic languages, the historical linguistics of North Germanic languages etc.?
In a similar vein, what does the future hold? More translations (and are there any particular works which you think could do with a better English translation)? More work at uni? Papers?
