Lipogram, I am surprised there is a word for it. What a bizarre past time, what is the point
P.S. hope you had a braw weekend. I see you weren't taken prisoner

Just thought I'd give it another airing.
Around 1939 Earnest Wright managed to
write a novel of 50,100 words without
using the letter e. Known as a lipogram.
Sadly, Earnest died the day the novel
(Gadsby) was published.
I think this way of writing is ultra difficult
and to finish a full book of so many words
is totally amazing.
How long a story or how much information
could you draw up without using this
impotant symbol?
Try it, its a painfully unaccommodating way
of writing.See what i did there

I do think it is most difficult to draft a story or a script without using that particular symbol. First I must think of a topic and I am coming up blank. Any thoughts? Hats off to Mr. Wright! It's a skill, I'll say that...a skill which I lack!

Yes the weekend was good and I am not a number.
Anyway, here,s the book.
Given the restriction it's quite a good story.

I had a go, I found I could not put many words down
without using that oh so important symbol.
So I had to say hats off to Mr Wright.
But why it was so important to him.
Who knows?
My word...that was difficult.

Taking all things into account, it is a totally absorbing way of stringing, and making logic of words, that may not, in a normal run of daily chat, have a familiar combination in this particular way.
Arranging words in this way is hardly a stroll in a park, particularly whilst passing hours chipping away at substitutional wording, in order not to look idiotic.
Having a fool for a brain isn't an aid in this art.......
Kudos to Mr Wright. His passing was sad.

If there was ever a day to prove that I'm a dumbe blonde, it's TODAY. I went back and read the posts and saw that JB was already congratulated. Duh

Interesting, and quite difficult. Kudos to all who have posted without using the letter "e"...and no, I wasn't even trying it.
That's too much thinking in a post.------ This thread is Archived ------
