I have not traditionally seen that alphabet as proper conlanging.  It was
inspired for cryptography purposes: a way to write Spanish and avoid
ocational eyedropers to know what I was writing.

Well, that first conlang, was also some kind of kryptolang too.  Not a relex
of Spanish though.

Look at http://chlewey.org/conlang/ for a text originally written circa
1999, explaining how I begun to conlang.  The fact is that creating new
words and grammar came later and I did not suspect I could have a date for
that happening.
