Afian,

Don't bother with any arrogant ass that thinks your efforts aren't
"worthy" or that you are too much of a "n00b" or "newbie" or whatever
stupid, condescending label they wish to attach to you and your work, to
be worthwhile.  They are insecure in their own lack of skill and only
feel good taking shots at others.
No effort you make is "unworthy" or a "bother".  Those efforts, great
and small, are what this entire list is about.  What's more, it's about
how you feel making the language, not how some putz judges it.  You may
have very good reasons to make choices that they don't understand.  the
point is to have some fun.  The people who want to tell you that you
have to do it a certain way can take a flying leap.

I've been at the research end of thing for years, literally.  I haven't
produced an conlang worth the name in over ten years.  In fact, since
long before I found this list and all the wonderful, frightening,
amazing suggestions of the far more capable than myself.  So, as far as
I'm concerned, the simple fact that you're actively working on one, or
more, languages is great!  Remember, it's for the fun of doing it, not
for what other people think or say, okay?  As long as you're having fun,
I think anything you produce is just great.

Keep coming back,
Jim
P.S.  I've also sent you something off-list that I hope will add
inspiration to your efforts and help keep you going.
