First try at Medieval CLex
Fascinating.
Word recognized Middle English. How lovely.
I am determined to write for Nerodi's Historical Challenge. It's a bit difficult though, as I have two specialties in historical eras: Middle Ages/Renaissance; and Victorian/Edwardian.
The trick is to get the dialogue just right, and I keep drifting between Chaucer and Shakespeare.
So . . . here there be snippet. Not even close to perfect, yet, but at least readable.
( Medieval Clark and Lex )
That was really difficult to write. I am exhausted.
Maybe I should write it out in twenty-first century colloquial, and then translate it back into Middle English.
Sigh.
Opinions? Shall I keep going? Or is this idea brutally hopeless?
