I try to avoid influence from my native lang by creating languages with
structures as alien from French as possible, and by thinking up the elements of
the lexicon very carefully (that's also why I don't make that many translation
exercises. I'm afraid that by doing that I will bring influences in the lexicon
of the language that I don't want to appear). Of course, there the exception of
Narbonósc, which seems to be an Occitan language which would have evolved more
like French, but here it was done willingly so.
