Lack of knowledge in linguistics (or languages in general) is also what stopped my conlang project in its tracks.
As for creating alternate alpha-characters, that's where I got my start. I thought it'd be cool to replace Latin alphabet characters with my own symbols, and things went on from there. Like, I think it's nifty to have a symbol for the 'sh' sound, or I've noticed that I encounter a certain sound combination a lot of times. And then it got kinda out of hand and I decided to simplify things a bit, and then added back more symbols, but with more thought given to it this time around. A few more cycles of that happened over the many years I've worked on my script.
