Mostly the same here; I've been using gzb a lot lately, there's hardly
been a day in the last month or two when I haven't written something
in it or at least thought in it, but I haven't run into any grammar
development issues lately; it's just been a matter of occasionally
coining a new word as necessary. I started a conlang sketch
in May or June, which I think I posted a little about here, but
didn't work on it for more than a week; I hope to get back to
it sometime, but for now gzb is (as usual) higher priority.
One thing I've been doing lately, while working on some
fiction in English, is writing the first draft of a difficult scene
in gzb before rewriting in English. Have any of y'all ever
done something like that?
