I guess the best advice is just to start somewhere, see how it works,
revise it time and again until you have the right result. Use your
gut feeling a lot. A word or morpheme must feel right. A language
doesn't develop quite at random. Though it has unlimited freedom in
principle, there is some hard-wiring inside governing it all. A word
that feels wrong drops dead after a few generations or less, if it
isn't changed to suit the speakers more. When you develop a language,
at least one that is supposed to be spoken by a population, you have
to extend yourself a bit and think for the whole population. Big but
doable. Imagination is limitless.
