Part 7 and final part of book 2 of my story I introduce a different language.
In truth, the earlier language I utilized is, in a way, tied to this one. One is the derivative of the other. Over time, the language though both are still similar in some ways, there are vast differences in others. If someone spoke the former language, a native of the latter wouldn't comprehend it and vice versa. And finally, if person who would hear the two languages wouldn't know the difference between the two.
I probably won't be using this latter language too much because I personally do not speak it, but when I was growing up, my family would have friends who spoke it. I was exposed to it enough to have understood a smattering of words here and there, but never an entire conversation.
If you're curious and would like to know how these words are pronounced, there are a few links you can read up on.

There had been a page that you could plug a word on their page and it is basically like Google Translate, though it doesn't really translate, but would read the word out to you. The page is now defunct. But there are plenty of videos on YouTube to look up though.
Another reason I won't be using this latter language too much is because I personally want to focus on my own. There are very few videos, articles, research or even Wiki pages on them and many more of dropping out of the internet. And I want to share it with you.

Attention Artists: The Obama Foundation Wants You
Artists have a new opportunity to network and develop projects aimed at civic good, courtesy of none other than Barack and Michelle Obama, via their foundation.
Twenty “community-minded rising stars,” among them “organizers, creators, educators, artists, entrepreneurs, and journalists,” will be selected for the first round of the Obama Foundation Fellowship. They will enjoy expense-paid trips to confabs with all the other fellows. The two-year, non-residential fellowship invites applicants from around the world.
The Obama Foundation specifically seeks artists who are at a turning point in their careers, but who curre
when writing about marginalized groups
personally i think there are a few different things that writers (specifically white writers/writers that aren’t part of certain marginalized groups, regardless of what groups they are apart of) need to consider before writing whatever project they might be working on:
- if you have plans to write about a race different than your own, what do you actually know about that race? are you willing to go to places other than the internet to find out things you don’t know? when people of that race tell you you’re doing something wrong, will you listen? is your response going to be some kind of rehash of “i’m trying m
Fearing Fear Itself
Take, for example, Jeb Bush’s declaration that “this is an organized attempt to destroy Western civilization.” No, it isn’t. It’s an organized attempt to sow panic, which isn’t at all the same thing. And remarks like that, which blur that distinction and make terrorists seem more powerful than they are, just help the jihadists’ cause.
Think, for a moment, about what France is and what it represents. It has its problems — what nation doesn’t? — but it’s a robust democracy with a deep well of popular legitimacy. Its defense budget is small compared with ours, but it nonetheless
Writing Begins With Forgiveness
Why One of the Most Common Pieces of Writing Advice Is Wrong
Write every single day.
It’s one of the most common pieces of writing advice and it’s wildly off base. I get it: The idea is to stay on your grind no matter what, don’t get discouraged, don’t slow down even when the muse isn’t cooperating and non-writing life tugs at your sleeve. In this convoluted, simplified version of the truly complex nature of creativity, missing a day is tantamount to giving up, the gateway drug to joining the masses of non-writing slouches.
Nonsense.
Here’s what stops more people from writing than anything else: shame.
