Leeyuh!

I’m making new words

I had this idea (unoriginal idea, to be fair) to make up my own words. The whole "all words are made up" thing is KINDA1 true. Of course a language's words, rules, and conventions are not only agreed upon by the society that speaks it, but the institutions recognized to keep all that info archived and updated for reference and teaching. But BEFORE all that, people had to just say stuff. The validity of the words were agreed upon later on. I wanna just say stuff.

I'm not aiming to have my words end up in a dictionary. This just seems like something fun. A way to communicate ideas in my own unique way and add even more personality to my writing.

I think I'll make an art project out of it2. I've been meaning to expand what it means to be an artist beyond drawing, so this'll be a low-stakes way to start.

  1. Not a scholar and I'm sure I am missing a LOT of context. I'm being vague on purpose, so please don't aim illiterate allegations towards me. I would die.↩

  2. There's this warm feeling I get it when I think of a solution to a problem without even trying. Maybe because I'm so used to overthinking everything and getting nothing out of it lol.↩
