"Rationalism" Is Up There With "Objectivism" In Terms Of "definitionally Funny Things To Call Your Own

Day 11 (14 in base 7) of writing my novel again.

I put about 1,000 more words into Part 2 today, and 90% of it was just Izi and Hota yapping, learning about each other. More on Part 2 later.

Today I wanted to share the two lines from Part One that one of my alpha readers said were "banging." I completely agree with her. That's all for now!

I didn't remember exactly what he did. He was always meeting with high-ranking military officials in his study, which he always told me to stay out of. I remembered his smile and his quiet voice. My last few weeks with him were spent in a hospital. He made me promise to devote myself to myself. I didn't really understand what he meant then, and I had only started to understand it when the Dr. Este came for me.

And:

In Ipol, the language of Zeneste, the formal 'rr' sound already sounds like you're choking on a cherry pit, but my 'rr' sound sounded more like an 'h,' but stronger-sounding. Just thinking about taking speaking lessons made my heart drop.

Day 23 (32 in base 7) of Rewriting my Novel

I was on a plane again today, so I wrote a bunch. If I didn't crack 30,000 today, I'll crack 30,000 tomorrow. Yay!

I finally got around to writing an introduction for this blog, which was long overdue. I'm definitely not only shouting off into the void of binary while I continue to write.

Neither Odapir nor Ipol are to a point where I would feel comfortable publishing a dictionary, but they're to a point where I can translate as I need to and derive words on the fly. If I ever get to a point where I have 1,500-2,000 words, I'll publish a dictionary, then. Probably online.

Congrats! 36,000 is not only a lot more words than many might give it credit for, but also (and especially since yours is just in notes) going to be a lot of good words.

Crazy to think that I’ve written over 36,000 words for my current book: The Daughter of Magic.

I feel two emotions:

1. excitement because it’s mostly notes

2. Dread because it’s mostly notes

Novel In Progress Update

Last week, I made a Poll asking if I should edit and release the first draft of my novel for public opinion or wait to finish the whole thing

The results are in, you fuckers have spoken, I will release the first chapter. Absolutely all criticism, feedback, or just general opinions are welcome. All will be acknowledged and appreciated

The problem with april fool’s is that the majority of people aren’t very funny

Dear Conlangers making A Priori, Naturalistic Languages...

Specifically those that use a protolanguage... please write down your sound changes before you copy-paste them! I've been struggling for several months to remember which sound changes happened from Old Ipol -> Modern Ipol and I cannot, for the life of me, find the file where I saved them. Please write them down I'm begging you.

Please Reblog is Your Blog is Safe for Non-Binary People.

If my mutuals can’t rb this then we can’t be mutuals

Day 20 (26 in base 7) of rewriting my novel.

I did a lot of planning today, but I didn’t add any words to the novel today.

Also, a new character just kinda… popped out of nowhere yesterday while I was writing?
