Translation Challenge:

In Carla Speed McNeil's graphic novel "Talisman" a young aspiring writer is her own worst critic. Her older brother, a somewhat-more-successful motion-picture artist, comforts her with the advice:

Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.

I think this would also be good advice to newbish conculturers and conlangers and conscripters and conworlders.

What is "newbish"?

If this is a translation challenge, then:

Normal orthography:
Ui røke tëué zẃre ui tëué zẃre uti.

ASCII character adaptation:
Ui ro/ke te.ue' zw're ui te.ue' zw're uti .

I meant, "How newbish do you mean by newbish?", but that's an eon-old discussion.

Toki Sona? Where have I heard something like like before???

It's named after Toki Pona and Sona. Sona in agglutionating and Toki pona has 120 words. Toki Sona has 120 roots, which combine to make words (loooooooong ones.) Inspired by your conlang, Neiriko.

Thanks.

There are word boundaries in Neiriko, while there don't seem to be any in Toki Sona. Languages aren't like that. That's how Neiriko used to be before I realised it was just half-Romance-y words strung together.

I made a typo; it should be Ikahojal kahojkfğw.

I-ka-hoj-al ka-hoj-k-f-ğw.
