How good are you at your own conscript?
I just wanted to get an idea of how good everyone is at their conscripts. Can you write it fluidly without looking at a reference/key? Can you read it fluently? Also, when coming up with new vocabulary for your conlang, do you always use the conscript for recording it? Just curious. PS: I know many of you, including myself, have many conscripts. Here I am referring to the one you use most often or your favorite :)

I am not; OTOH I am still developing my first conscript.

Although I don't really use this conscript anymore because I stopped developping the conlang that went with it, it still remains my favorite, and yes I can still read and write it mainly because it's a very simple alphabet consisting of 15 characters. At the time when I was developping my conlang, I tended to record most of the words using the script, since the character placement within each unit sometimes conveyed a logographic meaning. But what I find helps the most to learn a conscript is to use it in art and make it more fun, like that you know it's not just a string of boring old blocks all the time. For example, from a translation challenge 'happy valentine's day': Anyhow, you can read more about it forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=181>in this thread.

My two primary conlangs being Qatama and Ilya, my two main scripts are Moj and Eshta. I've been "fluent" in Moj for a good many years, I read and write it on almost a daily basis. Eshta, being a fairly basic script, I was able to memorize it almost immediately, I don't use it as often as Moj, but that has more to do with Ilya not having nearly as much vocabulary or history as Qatama.

I do not need a key for my second alphabet. I memorized it as I altered it, and as it continues to evolve, it's still as familiar to write as Latin. A little thought goes into reading it, but not much. Others, I gain a passing familiarity (least common characters need to be looked up, but they get fewer in number as time goes on) then I invent a new alphabet, and focus on that. Right now, I can still remember off the top of my head how to read back two of my most recent scripts, have part of an abugida memorized (it's more complex than most abugidas, however, so it'll take longer to get more than part), and there is a featural system I created much earlier this year which had few symbols that need to be remembered.

My first conscript, which I invented when I was 10 years old, has evolved from a simple cipher of a Korean adaptationfor I made for Spanish to a quite complex cursive-like drawing Hangeul-like construction code these past six years. And I've become very skillful reading it. I created some more conscripts after that one, but never got interested in learning them as I did with my first one.

I write in Phon on a daily basis. I might or might not have trouble recalling a phoneme that isn't in my usual speech inventory; it doesn't come up often, since it's my usual written voice that I'm typically transcribing. I can also read my back notes, at least as fast as I can write them, and despite small changes in the system, though the passages I wrote with 'miniscule' vowels take getting reacquainted with the minis (one reason they aren't part of the system atm).
