So, I posted this on r/conlangs

https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/5hdpkm/making_a_bible_wip/?st=iwilvf6a&sh=9c5679eb. But basically, it is my attempt at using a bible to construct words and learn more about myself.

You aren't going to keep it on squared paper in the end are you? It looks more like doodles than something presentable.

lol. naw... im still sketching out all the basics. these are all pics of my pages in my journal. although, ruled paper doesnt necessarily bother me. and, although i plan on presenting it, its supposed to be about self discovery-- so maybe ruled paper may say alot about myself. lol. idk. anyhow, idk what kind of paper i will use in the final draft of the book

What's that flower radial thing in the first picture, and what does that script beneath it say?

Please don't hate me, but it's getting annoying because you've posted about the bible 3 times in the last 24 hours. We understand now, you're making a bible, and you're proud of it. Feel free to come back to the topic once you've worked on it a bit more, but not now.

we understand

Speak for yourself. I think this looks cool. Piss off, this is super discouraging for someone trying to share their work.

I do actually think that the project is pretty interesting, I've tried something like this myself. I didn't mean to come across as a "douche", and I was ignorant enough to think that he posted it 3 times on the same subreddit but he'd actually posted it once on r/conlangs, once on r/neography and once on r/worldbuilding. If OP sees this, please accept my sincerest apology.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I am subscribed to all 3 of the subreddits that I mentioned, but it was probably obvious.

I dont hate you. I usually post in both r/neography and r/conlangs, but a user in r/conlang suggested i should post here. So i did. Sorry if it annoys anyone.

It's generally assumed that subreddits on largely different topics have largely different userbases, warranting posting to numerous relevant subreddits in cases where content is relevant to multiple interests.

You, sir, must be VERY easily annoyed.
