Hallo

[aesmael]

    Just came back from the family dinner. I keep thinking the material in this course - how to research and find information - should be taught to everyone since it is of such basic importance, along with logic, critical thought and knowledge of propaganda techniques. All things I need to learn too.

    The other day I acquired a sudden interest in Lojban. Possibly I could use it for/as a basis/inspiration for Damiroque. Or to use it to improve my own (desperately in need of it) conlanging. Or just learn it. Maybe. If I can find the time.

    Last night's total: 257 words of Elegant Girl. I do not know where that story is going. It is the equivalent of doodling on a notepad. So far on track for this month, must maintain that. The reason I only post the previous day's writing progress and not the current one is in case I write more after posting. I know you were wondering.

    Last year I did not accomplish as much as I hoped to. Hopefully I will do better this year.

conlang? oh my! I had my own attempts at such. I found that I could find a set of phonetics that I would like to work with, but then I could never come up with a writing system that I liked all that much.

Ooh, details?

I can say the central feature of my attempt at building Damiroque a few year's ago was 'idea-syllables to build words that would be sentences in English.' There are probably proper terms for those and mine had the advantage of not actually being any shorter for having fewer words. P:

There probly are proper terms, though I don't know what they would be.

I don't remember many details, it's written down in some notebook somewhere. It was completely phonetic, so no silent letters or changing of pronunciation of characters, etc. I never really got to syntax/word order/etc. because I was never quite satisfied with how the characters of the alphabet looked, hah.
