I read an article in the new WIRED magazine today and was inspired to start writing and developing my alphabet that I started nearly 4 years ago. Ever since I read the lore behind Lord of the Rings and how the story was built around a language J.R.R. Tolkien invented and worked on for most of his life, I was compelled to do the same thing. Little did I know at the time that Tolkien was a linguist and developed this language from a technical and scientific background that not only made the language feel real and used but also was as structurally sound as any real language is today. I just happened to like writing and decided to make some curvy lines and call it good.
However, after reading this article in WIRED I got reinvigorated to put more time into my alphabet. It’s not a language but an alternative to the alphabet we currently use today. Sort of like a code or cipher. Most people, (my wife included), would call this wasting time and not acting my age, but to me it’s fun and it gets my mind off of work, life and all the stuff that I needn’t bother myself with when I don’t really need to. Also it allows me to write things that only I myself can read and there’s no proof, except for the master copy, of what any of it means. 
Perhaps I’ll publish it one day before I die and all of my secrets will be known. And who knows, I could possibly quite literally re-write history, (and the way we write).
