Yeah, I struggled with it though because liquid water having it’s own word would normally be inevitable, so I had to think about how the language would have developed alongside their geographic history. I think they probably did have a word for it before, but it fell out of use until it was forgotten completely. Then it was re introduced …[Read more]

I like how they look handwritten more, but this is just gibberish.

Just like Lasi’el, this is saying “Ajlu vas Rrajlan? Ajlu rev Rrajlan.” Meaning, “Do you speak Rrajlan? I speak Rrajlan.”

Next conlang showcase! Rrajlan
Rrajlan is spoken by the people of the same name. The Rrajlan people are neighbors to the Shome’el, living beside the dark, cold center of Omialia, known in their tongue as the Alunakan.
Rrajlan has a VSO structure (verb subject object)
Some might find the Rrajlan to be a rude and perhaps even evil people. This…[Read more]

Yeah, that would be something good to build towards later on, but you’ll still need a more immediate plot.

Yeah, I’m more of a math person, but I have my fair share of science knowledge, though more in physics than chemistry. I do know a little bit about the different shell structures though, and how that leads to the different global behaviors of a substance. Never mind a good rant though.
I’m just thinking if there may be some way to think…[Read more]

This sounds pretty cool!
The issue I would say about using all 29 would be the same debate of how many digits there are in a number system. More digits means more compact information, but it also means more informational storage is needed (you need to remember it all).
29 different metals all with completely unique sets of powers, even…[Read more]

That’s a tough one. It’s hard because sometimes ideas seem to come naturally, but when you try to get knew ideas, that’s when they stop. I’ve faced similar struggles in the past. Like Omialia is a very well developed world, but when I try thinking of a story, all I can think of is uninspired tropes, whereas the worlds for Lucid Wraith and…[Read more]

So I just saw the other comments saying that the setting isn’t as big a deal. Personally I think setting is very important, but it also depends on who you are as the author, and what kind of story you want to write.
Your not over thinking it for being concerned about whether your setting is playing…[Read more]

Maybe @thearcaneaxiom could help? (Sorry if she already tagged you.)
No problem, thanks for the tag!

So this is a good thing to be aware of when writing your story. Your definitely right that you want to have your setting more tied into the plot. I like how Brandon Sanderson puts it: Character, setting, and conflict are the three pieces, and the plot is the glue that keeps them together in a story.
You care about your characters,…[Read more]

Patricia MacLachlan was a children’s author, yes. But I still find her books interesting. Her most well known, “Sarah, Plain and Tall,” would be about the thickness of a thin beginner’s novel, if that gives you any idea. I’m not sure how to classify her genre. You can read a sample of “Sarah, Plain and Tall” on Amazon to give you an i…

I think I lean more toward hard world building. While I have written some projects for fun where literally anything can happen, I love thought-out structure and processes in books (especially when it takes something from reality and kinda twists it).
Cool! Yeah, I’m definitely a hard worldbuilder. I definitely appreciate soft…[Read more]

Welcome to KP!
I’m the Arcane Axiom, I love math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and am currently working on a universe with my sister called the Septrum.
Also, love Catholics btw, they respect authority. I’m LDS, so we have different ideas about who h…[Read more]

Cool! Did you create all the rules of this language before you created any words? I have found that it can be a bit annoying to have to fit all the words I have into the language, but it’s also nice to have some as a starting point.
What’s worse than starting with the words is also starting with the script. Those are both problems I had m…[Read more]

This is the Lasi’el script. It says: Lasi’el elasi vwij? Lasi’el elasi len. Meaning, Do you speak Lasi’el? I speak Lasi’el.

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Conlangs! in the forum General Writing Discussions 11 months, 3 weeks ago
Lasi’el is my most developed conlang. It is spoken by the Shome’el. I originally created Lasi’el with the goal of creating a language out of entirely soft consonants to sound fluid and beautiful. I gave the exception of the glottal stop however, just to add a little exotic flavor, which is represented by the symbol ” ‘ “. (The glottal stop exists…[Read more]
