How do you even write in circular gallifreyan? I tried to learn but i don't understand

Here’s my go for a Sherman’s Gallifreyan guide:

You start with drawing a circle:

Then you will look from the chart below (It only has consonants I’ll explain how vowels work soon) what kind of circle represents the letter you want to write.

Consonants take one of four forms and have dots, lines or neither. So if you want to write J it’s only one floating circle, K is the same kind of circle but with two dots and S is a half of circle with three lines. There is no C so you must write S or K instead depending on the sound.

For example the letter H looks like that ↑. The yellow part is the circle and two lines for H and the white circle is the word circle. The lines can go anywhere and if there are more letters that have lines they can also share lines.

Vowels are much smaller circles than consonants. They are usually attached to the preceding consonant, but they can also float on their own.

Those small circles which I have painted red and blue are the vowels.The photo shows where do they attach to different consonants (red circles) and how do they work on their own (blue circles).

I have added I to go with the H so that they form the word Hi

Here is the same word, but the letters are now seperatery and H shares one line with I. Both ways are correct. A vowel must stand on its own only when it has no consonant to attach to (a word starts with a vowel or you have two vowels in a row). Double letters are denoted by double circles. Words are read and written anticlocwise starting from the bottom.

Sentences are contained within two circles. The outer circle is to just to contain the sentence and the inner circle has punctuations. To fill empty space the inner circle also has those half circles which I have painted greeen in the photo below. They have no true meaning and they are done simply for style.

“Empress of Mars”I have marked the reading order with numbers. Just like a word, you read them starting from the bottom and then proceeding around anticlockwise. So you start the reading from the bottom with E. Number two is M, three is P, four is R, five is E and six a double letter SS. Then you move on to the next word. As you can see the consonants share some lines so it doesn’t look messy.

Punctuation are added along the edge of the inner sentence circle.For example dot is a small circle in the inner circle and apostrophe has two lines that go from the inner circle to the word circle.

“The idiot’s lantern” The apostrophe is coloured yellow.

Since I write Circular Gallifreyan very often I have made a photoshop document which has the charts and some frequently used words

(“muista” is Finnish for “remember” if you wondered. It’s to remind me about those lines)

The hardest thing about writing Circular Gallifreyan is making it look good and getting all the letters to fit nicely. I usually leave the other halves of half circles till I have the whole text done and then erase then.

This is a screenshot I took while doing the all things end -quote. At that time it didn’t even have all of the circles so you can believe it’s hard to remember which ones to erase.

That’s the finished quote ↑. It has several sentences and they are placed the same way as words to sentences and letters to words.

That’s the basics of it. I hope this clears things up for you. If not then just ask more. I’m bad at explaining things so I hope this is not too confusing.

♡Innocence lost♡

When I close my eyes,  the stars stay in the sky and dance with the sun, and I open the window and call your name as if I know it better than my own. When I close my eyes,  the rain waters the dying flower fields, and I wear diamonds around my wrists and no one asks me about the scars I used to paint in  gold.  When I close my eyes,  the city lights turn off so the stars can finally breathe again, and you place flowers in my hair as I touch your face and I stop counting the days. When I close my eyes,  the morning light paints the room like sweet frosting, and I can hear you breathing, calmness stains your lips and your hair kisses the  pillow. When I close my eyes,  the petals of flowers swim around you as if they know you are just as ephemeral as they are, and we never stopped talking and I never locked the windows and I still slept soundlessly with dreams instead of nightmares and the words in our conversations did not become severed like the lifelines I tried to cut off.

When I close my eyes, I see you. (via dollpoetry)
