A first post. Always a memorable, yet strangely forced experience. Here it goes.

Welcome to my blog. Or rather, I welcome myself, as I doubt that this will become particularly popular. The reason? It’s about Old English. Or Anglo-Saxon, if you prefer.

I know basically nothing about this language as yet, but am truly captivated. Inspired by several other blogs around on this subject (if you root around for long enough), I have decided to track my progress, and perhaps encourage someone else in the process.

The name of the blog: essentially a complete invention of mine, which I am dubious about. I quite liked it though. It appeals to my ridiculously romantic side.
- sceop : to create, form.
- ellen: courage/valour.

So basically, I am creating courage. I feel that is rather apt at the moment, as I still think myself slightly crazy for even setting myself this magnificent challenge.

More tomorrow. 1am is not the time for coherent speech, leave alone coherent Anglo-Saxon. Night… Or rather, godne mergen!
