Unintelligible writing; just another hobby

` I so do enjoy scripts and languages that only few can read, so much so that I decorated my first little sketchbook's inner cover with one back in 1999. Here is a 400% enlargement:



` This image probably looks very familiar to many of you, though for anyone who doesn't know what that's supposed to be, I have provided the English translation in my own personal prototype unintelligible writing system right next to it (enlarged only about 200% here for smudginess):



` I know, it doesn't provide much of an answer, but if you think you know what it's supposed to say and compare it with what you see, it should be self-evident (thankfully, it reads left-to-right).
` Unfortunately, my handwriting's somewhat sloppy at the tinier size it was actually written in, so it's more confusing-looking than it needs to be.
` That aside, I just love to write using my... creative-looking 106-phoneme writing system, which is really just an offshoot of the International Phonetic Alphabet rather than a mere code. (For discerning between the different sounds, I used this extremely helpful website - unfortunately, the recordings no longer play.)

` ...Which reminds me, I need to redesign some of the characters (especially the vowels) because they're either somewhat irregular, difficult to discern or clumsy to write.
` Even in its early stages in 2000 I was so attached to my 'secret' writing system that after Daddy Dearest stole all my diaries, my eventual new one - a huge, canvas-bound book with the words 'Zum ersten Mal' and a picture of Gourdy the Yurk on the cover in metallic ink - wound up being filled with such seeming gibberish.
` Over the years, the gibberish mutated and evolved into the current form I'm still working on.

` One more thing: My pen name, 'Quine', actually comes from the word 'Mikwayn' (MIK-wine), which is a rough approximation of how to spell the name of the literary language my largely unoriginal writing system is meant to go to.
` Still, it is useful because nobody can read anything I write unless I've taught them how to - which, so far, nobody has asked me of. Heck, even I have trouble reading this system - though actually writing it down is fairly effortless. Unfortunately, I also have a tendency to spell things wrong when I'm not using it...
` Heh, and just wait until I have the language ready to try out - that'll prove frustrating, no doubt, especially when I try to speak it and have no reference with which to compare myself. How will I know how bad my accent is?
` I tell ya, designing, constructing, writing down and sounding out one's own language could no doubt cause many times the usual amount of something the Japanese call 'yokomeshi' - though that isn't quite accurate because English is already written horizontally....
` Meh, never mind - I shall have to make up my own Mikwayn term for such frustrations.
