Mak dur s'lu-clu folku vulga

In November of 2018, I discovered I had a hidden talent. I could be really, really, really stressed out. Okay, so that's not a talent...but the stress did lead me to a new project: one that I hadn't considered before. It started like this: 

I was having trouble with a coworker. This person was mean...almost all the time. Saying mean things to me. Making me feel like a loser. I know I am a loser, but I didn't want to feel  like one,  So, randomly, I decided to try my hand at drawing a "dark" plant. In fact, I started drawing it in the middle of an important meeting.

Turns out, it was really fun. And, I realized that, although I can't keep a plant alive to save my soul...I'm pretty darn good at drawing them. Thus began my creation of the Mak dur s'lu-clu folku vulga.... or The Dark Flora and Fauna of the Fon S'ul.

In order to understand how to begin the book, I had to know where the plants I was creating were going to live. I also had to know what each one would be called. So, I had to do some background work before I could even begin the drawing in earnest. I had to revisit the Urluk language, the language of the Ul-hada in the Arqiyyon series, and I had to take a look at their grammar and usage. I had to redraw the map of the Fon S'ul in greater detail, and,, instead of using the Caladani at first, I framed the book and its writing in Urluk. This quickly branched out to Caladani again, as Ur-luck is highly unimaginative. I couldn't name every plant "pain stick" like the Ronya Malibarus, or "hide in dirt." So, there is a basis in the book for Urluk, but Caladani is just plain more fun! Once I had the book put in perspective, I was ready to draw.

We must never let anyone make us feel worthless. Instead, let us make those moments to be our stepping stone to improve ourselves. I'm glad you did not make him win and instead you have found your talent. I hope you will inspire others who experience the same experience as yours. And I hope you continue to share your endeavors and how you conquer it.
