St. Hildegard’s Day… Come and gone

Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2011 in Conlanging

St. Hildegard of Bingen

This is my official day-after-St-Hildegard’s post. St. Hildegard’s Day came and went yesterday, and, weekends being very busy affairs around here, came and went with nary an acknowledgement from me (let alone any conlanging-related activities). The counter on the front page of The Conlanger’s Library has reset itself. We now have 364 days until the next St. Hildegard’s Day. I still maintain Hildegard’s Day is a good day to resolve to revive those languishing conlang projects, to polish up those lexicons, to make updates to your conlang or conworld websites, to throw a party and play Glossotechnia, or just to revel in your geeky hobby. Throw caution to the wind and greet someone with a hardy “Mae govannen!” or thank a cashier with “Dankon!”

I’ve decided to make my own a resolution that by next St. Hildegard’s Day, I’ll have my Dritok Primer up on the web for all to see. That’s going to be my only resolution, but I’m hoping that the Primer will be part of my overall new website on Kryslan (my languishing conworld). I continue to play with the various peoples, languages, geography, and all the other facets of the world. In any case, that’s my resolution (posted here to keep me honest). We’ll see. “Free” time is a precious commodity and must be spent with care.

In any case, I hope everyone’s St. Hildegard’s Day was a happy one, that the weather where you were was pleasant, and that your conlanging continues to please yourself (and amazes your friends and family). 🙂
