When I began taking a sign language coures at the
local community college many years ago as I learned
each new sign I devised a simple pictographic glyph
with the same meaning. A few semesters later, when I
had become fluent in ASL I had also become fluent in
my pictographic language. I used it for class notes
and in my personal journal. It was kind of exciting
to be able to write fluently in my pictographic
conlang without the need to stop and think about how
to write seomthing. I all came very naturally. I
enjoyed it.
