And keeping track is crucial. Looking back at my pages I discovered words I didn't even know I'd used...<br />@Murr--I love the idea of shining little goblin guys but wonder if the Fae parent might not just kill the ugly ones at birth? (My fairies are not nice people.)<br />I'm having way too much fun with this stuff. It'd be nice if I actually FINISHED the book.<br />Thanks for the comments!Katherine Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696623795926663895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485894476790659607.post-13492266813972176342011-04-19T00:00:03.844-07:002011-04-19T00:00:03.844-07:00I enjoyed reading your log and found good informat...I enjoyed reading your log and found good information with us.

For spells and incantations, I would type it out in English in an online translator.. translate it to Portuguese... and then start taking out vowels and consonants so it did not look like Portuguese, but wasn't total gibberish. And, then... keep track of all that so I used the same "words" in other spells... wouldn't do to use a different "translation" for "Oh Ancient Ones!", now would it. Haha! I too have scribbled journal pages and such all over... about a three square foot space on the wall plastered with Post-It notes... yes, definitely need a little organizing here.<br /><br />I love your new word "faeblin"... that is too cool!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430872985988041256noreply@blogger.com
