sitelen pi toki pona tawa ali / A common Toki Pona novel

Post by Delphij »

I thought I'd make a Google Document that anyone can edit, where we could write a little novel i Toki Pona.
Think of this as nothing too serious, just write what you feel should happen in the story :)

(If it is just blank, it means I did not come up with anything to write xD Feel free to write a beginning! )

We can borrow from jan Ante (which jan Ante?)'s exercise on this forum, if inspiration fails here.

Hmm, these run a high risk of degrading into nonsense on incoherence-- I've heard of professional authors doing this, one example was each author wrote and finished a chapter, so there was a good deal of info about the starting point and the basic direction of the story's arc.

Maybe we could write the next chapters of "Beyond Your Command"?

Now that I think of it-- this would have been a better way for the community to have provided feedback and edits to my translation-- my toki pona efforts come and go in bursts and I don't always have the time to merge in edit suggestions when I'm fortunate enough to get them.
