Boudewijn, you have my deepest sympathy. While writing a scene in my novel I came to a place where I was showing a Tvern An ceremony which is critical to the novel and suddenly relalized that I didn't have Tvern El vocabulary for the concepts to be expressed in the ritual. I've done the same thing now with an Alleliawulian ceremony. Weaving conlangs into your text can be troublesome if rewarding. No wonder most writers don't bother or make up gibberish. Keep the standard high! Don't give up! And I hope your more successful in maintaining your pace than I am! Adam So lift the cup of joy and take a big drink. In spite of it all it's a beautiful world. -------Suzanne Knutzen _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
