    I’ve had a long period of writer’s block, regarding songwriting. So I decided to invent a language, with a backstory of the peoples who spoke it. It’s a real challenge but exciting to see a language form right in front of you! And since I’ve been focusing so hard on the language, I’ve been writing some really fresh sounding music, and enjoying the songwriting process again. I guess I just needed to stop fussing over the music so much.

        It’s still a work in progress. I’ve got the phonology, most of the basic stock vocabulary, a number system, a list of rules… but it’s far from complete. I made some simple sentences and recorded myself saying them, and it sounds a bit like Latin with slight flourishes of English, German, Nordic languages, Greek, Russian, Celtic, Japanese… In writing, it looks sort of like a Welsh Latin. Once I build more vocab and finalise the fiddly grammatical stuff, I can share a bit and explain it.

    I’m tired. I slept in until 9.30 while usually I get up at 7/7.30. Yesterday my train was cancelled due to a collision, so I took a detour. Half way down the detour, my crossover also got cancelled due to a broken down train on the track. So I had to take another detour. I saw some villages I had nevet been (but it was dark, so I actually didn’t see much) The whole ride home took me 5.5 hours insted of 1.5. At least I had The Lord of the Rings with me. I’ve read about 5 chapters yesterday.

    Been painting some canvas. It’s not going great but I hope I can make something pleasant out of it

    I made some significant progress on a project I have been working on yesterday, so I’m excited to get back to it today if I can!

      Try a white noise machine, or listen to an audiobook for a book you’ve already read. I find listening to a book helps reduce anxiety, and if I’m still awake, at least I’m enjoying listening to a book. Listening to something you’ve already read before removes most active thinking about what might happen in the book and helps you sleep.

      I’m currently listening through the entire ‘Realm of the Elderlings’ series, and previously listened to the entire ‘Wheel of Time’. Wheel of Time took me about 2 years to get through while falling asleep.

    I thought DST was ending today and was surprised I woke up normally with my alarm. Didn’t realize it was tomorrow.
