Líros, 19th of Tàlniévis, 1306
Spiders the size of black bears, and those are the small ones. A few boast sizes rivaling moose. And they're social creatures, living in great nests hidden in the meadows, sending out hunting parties to bring prey back to their hatchlings. I think they are trying to scare me! I have to ...

I know of seven day week cycles, so I do not think I am surprised by how short it is, but six days? I counted my diary entries up until this point. I thought about adding in dates, but, I didn't always write in my journal every day before I asked about the calendar a week ago. I still ha...

It is worse than I could have ever imagined. I am, in fact, lucky to be alive. To even exist now. I met the Psychomancer. I cannot remember her name. Loki? Lokali**? My head is spinning.
She gave me two possibilities. It was the only two she could...

The first bed I've had in a long time feels good on my back. Days of a thin mattress and a thinner blanket under the stars does something to a woman. Bad things. Even if the stars are beautiful out here. With a steady supply of oil for lamps I can write well into the night, though I feel the call of the bed already...

i apologize for my handwriting: there are two sets of three columns: Name, Character, IPA. lower left quadrant says "Akarian Alphabet" -Akarbetagim-. the Latin Alphabet parts at least.
and if anyones having trouble reading the character Names, heres the order again:
Beta
Gimel
Daleta
Elepa
Veta
Ghe
it was the Akarian Alphabet!
So anyway, idk if ive talked about this elsewhere, but i based the Akarian Alphabet on the Phoenician one, with some alterations to fit the phonetic inventory. So now, here are the Letter names, in Alphabetical (or rather, Betagim) Order:
Beta
Gimel
Daleta
Elepa

like. base 6 radix. 6 unique characters in a positional notation system.

not positional???
perhaps... bijective??????
I haven't been active in a while. Here's a little bit of something.
2021-02-25 22:14:31 +0000 UTC View PostThis is an old Akarian proverb. Transliterated, it means "To Master not Life but to Master Death is the Hallmark of Civilization."

So I did say there wasn't going to be a chapter upload today BUT I went ahead and wrote the whole damn thing. So, here it is! I also want to let yall know that every chapter of Her with the Hummingbirds is right now free to read except this one (for one week) and the Chapter One Redraft. So with all that out of the way, enjoy!
2020-09-25 21:34:59 +0000 UTC View PostExactly what it says on the tin. No new Her with the Hummingbirds chapter, primarily because I got caught up with a personal project. Something will happen on Friday though. I will be releasing all of my rough draft chapters for free, saving the Chapter One Redraft for patrons. That'll be all. Good night!
