Day 29 (41 In Base 7) Of Re-writing My Novel

Day 43 (1:16) of rewriting my novel

Today, Part 3 cracked 20,000 words!

Part 3 is finishing up nicely as I bridge the gap between the New Heroes leaving Tolftorrijv behind and the scene where Lozerief comes to them in Obizoe.

I'm not convinced that the ending to Part 3 is my best work, but for now, it just needs to exist until the novel is done.

Plus, there's a lot of Part 5 planning that I need to do before this whole thing is complete. And even then, I don't know how far into post-novel canon I'm willing to go before I deem the story complete. This is just a thought that's been on my mind as Part Three (hopefully) comes to a close, soon.

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

surely it creates suspense for the viewer, who, now enticed, simply *must* go read your story

besides just being a wise business decision, it must also feel like that one raccoon gif from a million years ago, right?

sometimes i feel like a bigshot mass media company when i purposely exclude important details from “the advertising” to help hide spoilers lol

Joining in. I got king, also.

"There will come a ruler Whose brow is laid in thorn Smeared with oil like David's boy" Duty. Strength. Resignation. You were told to do things and you did them. The world is something that was put into your hands and that you must deal with - so you will. You have a rigid back and steady hands, either metaphorically or physically. Is it nature or nurture ? You don't know. You are tired of being steady. You dream of feeling alive. Not that you aren't, but, sometimes, it's hard to remember that there is a heart between your ribs. Your love is where you breathe. Come on, breathe. In. Out. It starts now."

They didn't have any siren-like features, so you will have purple Lex for today.

To fill the rest of this post up, here's "king" in a couple conlangs:

Zispoel: Nourer (m), Nourerief (f)

Ipol: Nurrite (m), Nurrif (f)

Low Zeneth: Dvrr

High Zeneth: Dva

Hey, I wanted to share some conlang news with you all. A friend of mine named Jake Penny just released a video describing their creation of a new conlang—Pankashku—for the movie Madame Web.

Now if you've actually seen Madame Web (unlikely, I know), you may recall not hearing a conlang in it at all. This is because the actual Pankashku dialogue that Jake translated for the film was cut in its entirety, and Jake was not credited.

As a professional conlanger, I can tell you this does happen, and it always sucks, but it especially sucks when it happens with your first and only job. Jake isn't alone this. Bill Welden created a conlang for the movie Noah, and it, too, was cut and Bill wasn't credited. Both were paid, and, of course, the contract states that your work will be used at the company's discretion (which includes not at all), so it wasn't like they were taken advantage of, but when your work isn't used and you're not credited it means no one hears about you, and industry word of mouth doesn't spread to get you future work. It really, really sucks, given that there are so few opportunities for conlang artists to be compensated for their work.

That is why I'm sharing this here! If you're interested, please give it a watch, but if not, please reblog it around, if you would. A lot of work goes into creating a language, and the least we can hope is that our work will be heard/seen and appreciated.

Also, if you'd like to support Jake, they and Miles Wronkovich have a YouTube series/podcast which you can support on Patreon here.

Thanks for your time! <3
