Talking about Language

[carrie_ironhorse]

So I've been asked to speak on a panel at Life, the Universe, and Everything's Symposium for Science Fiction and Fantasy (fancy!). It's a symposium at BYU and one of my friends is helping to organize it, which is why I was asked. Which is nice. I get to talk for an hour (well, I suppose the other panelists get to talk as well) about languages in fiction. How fun is that? I can even bring up my most recent conlang attempt for my future project, The Red Monsoon (the story itself is still cooking, but the worldbuilding has been enjoyable.)

I have to write a bio with my qualifications. Maybe I should list "has attempted to invent her own languages since the age of ten, approximately"? :)
