Want to use a fancy custom language for something, but don’t know how to make one?Use Vulgar!

Vulgar is a conlang (constructed/fictional language) generator created to help literally generate a language for you. No, really. No tricks, and it’s super simple to use. It’s my favourite tool right now for writing fantasy, even as someone who loves creating his own languages, it’s an amazing starting point.

Want a random conlang, straight away, with no prep or fuss? Just visit http://vulgarlang.com/index.html and click “Generate New Conlang”… and that’s it. Scroll down and through your brand new, generated, completely original conlang. 

If you’re a little more advanced in terms of conlanging and want to specify IP phonemes to be used, you can add them too, but even with no knowledge of linguistics you can create a language at the click of your fingers.

This version of Vulgar is completely free, sure…. but! the guy who created it has not only made an amazing thing (which I repeat, is absolutely free at it’s most basic point), but is also planning on updating it more and more!

Under the “Buy” tab on the Vulgar website, he links to his email, where you can offer to pay for the full version of Vulgar, which is a total steal right now at a sale price of only nineteen dollars. Considering professional conlangers and linguists could charge you, like, a metric fuck ton of money for the same data you’re getting here for just nineteen, that’s a major steal.

Not to mention, buying the alpha build now gives you free access to all of it’s updated versions, which I can guarantee are just going to get better and better! I’ve already bought it and I adore it, and this is a tool the likes of which we in the conlang community have never seen in such an awesome way.

Please consider helping Vulgar out, because the creator is a damn genius

Tips for the show don't tell rule?

Use all of the sense. Not just sight and sound. 

Try to give the reader the information to make the conclusion of what you’re trying to show rather than just outright telling them what it is. 

Eg: “She looked upset.” vs “Her make-up had gone thin around the eyes where she had wiped away tears.”

Make the reader feel what your character feels so that they understand it rather than simply knowing how they feel. 

Eg: “He was devastated when he didn’t get on them team.” vs “His eyes scanned all the way from the top of the team list all the way down to the very last name. Then he went up again. He read every word on that sheet of paper to make sure he hadn’t missed some detail to indicate a mistake or that would give him hope of a second chance. But the feeling of acid pouring down his throat had started after the first read through. His new soccer cleats would stay nice and clean this season.”

Use details, don’t be vague.

Eg: “By the way she acted I could tell she was a snob.” vs “The woman held her head up high above the rest, equal parts confidence and an apparent wish to keep her expensive hairstyle away from anyone else’s peasant-do’s. I also couldn’t decide if she was holding on to her purse with such desperation because she feared it would be snatched at any moment, or because it gave her a clean place to keep her hands.”

Make words work for their spot on the page. If you mean “massive” don’t say “really big”. Sometimes one specific, powerful word is better than many.

Use unique dialogue. You can tell a lot about a character by the way they speak and everyone has different patterns, tones, phrases and such when they speak. So by having the characters have their own unique way of speaking that fits with who they are you can show readers their characterization.

Be wary (but not too wary) of adverbs and adjectives. They great parts of speech that help us out in our everyday lives to get to the point but in descriptive writing they can make us lazy. But don’t go irradiating every last -ly word you can find. They still serve a purpose in your manuscript, just make sure that they actually belong.

Which leads to my last tip. DON’T OVER DO IT. Showing is great, really, but we don’t need to know every last detail about every last detail in the story. Sometimes you do need to just tell the reader something. Sometimes it’s perfectly fitting to be blunt. When all you do it tell it ends up sounding like a kid’s picture book that teaches them about animals (The pig is pink. The duck is yellow…) But when you over show it sounds like a bigot trying to out do their art snob friend at a gallery opening. It’s a balance that requires you to think hard about what it is that you’re trying to say and to decide what is the best way to get it across to the reader. Basically, writing good prose is akin to balancing skyscrapers of plates so thin they border on translucent in each hand while wading through a stream of torrential water, pushing on each leg as if it were…you know what? Writing is hard.

Why do I love this so much haha

[wnq-writers]

People are like books. Not just ordinary books, of course, but walking, breathing, living stories. Some are dull, merely an underwhelming assortment of poorly crafted pages. They leave you wanting more, and so you move on to another, and the next, and the one after that. If you’re lucky, you’ll stumble across one that captivates you. This is the person with whom you wish to spend your time, the one you grow to love, the book you immerse yourself in for hours on end. This is the person – the book – that grips every ounce of your attention. You know the book will end, as all things can and do, though how or at precisely what moment that final page comes remains unknown for some time. But who spends time imagining the end? Who can think about the end when the journey has only just begun? After all, it is the chapters that matter most. Not all are riveting. Not all will leave you breathless. But the best chapters, the best chapters will ruin you. They always do. Because no matter how the book turns out, no matter if it is the greatest book on the shelf or simply a collection of pages with good potential but a poor result, the best chapters are always the hardest to close. And every book is bound to have a memorable chapter, one that reminds you why you first bothered to pluck the book from life’s library.

Nestle is one of the companies that is selling bottled water out of California and making the drought worse. Not only that, they’re getting the water from Native American reserves. Boycott Nestle.
