I’d certainly be happy to here more about some of those mysterious words from other languages that you’ve retained for your own, as well as some of those creative grammatical ideas you’ve come up with.<BR/><BR/>Your request for more details on my own glossopoeic efforts convinces me all the more that it may be time for a post on that subject. A very large number of Tolkien fans seem to take a shot at creating their own languages, don’t they?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, watch for an upcoming post — or more than one — on the topic. And in the meantime, feel free to comment again here with any further details on your conlang that you might wish to share.Jason Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809154870762268253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050528436539921312.post-71758798439695406142008-06-14T03:02:00.000-05:002008-06-14T03:02:00.000-05:00No, I actually meant languages, and chose this pos...No, I actually meant languages, and chose this post to ask only by virtue of it being the first post, thus easiest to access =).<BR/><BR/>I am currently creating a language for the fictional project that I am working on. It is a slow, tedious process (both the writing and the creating of a language). I am trying to make the vocab as little contrived as possible, except for certain words in other languages that possess certain mystery or have so endeared themselves to me by the sheer wonder wrapped within them that I cannot refuse them. The grammar is of course heavily influenced by the languages I have studied - it's hard to avoid - but I think I have a few creative ideas evenso. It is an exciting endeavor, the creating of a world!<BR/><BR/>I would love for you to post on your own creations. I would be eager to examine your languages - or even some of the writing you mentioned. Are you working on any long-term projects?Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721162340739400165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050528436539921312.post-63304472504616010972008-06-12T08:59:00.000-05:002008-06-12T08:59:00.000-05:00Languages or short stories?

Either way, yes. :) I’m guessing you meant <I>short stories</I>, since this is the subject of the present post; but OTOH, maybe you meant <I>languages</I> because of how frequently I post on that subject as well. And yes, I have been known to <I>conlang</I>, as some call it. I haven’t done it seriously in some years, but my most developed language had a full, if simple, grammar, and a vocabulary approaching 10,000 words. That might make for a good post at some point in the future ...<BR/><BR/>Back to fiction, I haven’t (and probably won’t) submit a story for this particular competition, though. Too little free time at the moment.
