Good morning readers, hope you have enjoyed the wonderful review as of today. I was Skyping the lovely Jonas Lee last night as to our upcoming interview/conversation and I remembered I was yet to attempt said challenge. The idea is to construct and write a paragraph that is between four and six sentences (that make sense) without using the letter E once. It may not sound too difficult but this paragraph above already contains forty four e’s! I have attempted the challenge and although the tenses are a little off I think I’ve done okay. Thank you to the wonderful Jonas.
It was a muggy day in London. Knots of individuals striding down humid paths; damp clothing sticking to clammy limbs. I sat, basking in sunlit parks whilst clouds lazily slid, discarding wisps of snowy fuzz sinking into a cobalt sky. Vodka tonic in hand and a book lying gaping upon a grassy bank, my thoughts lost in dragons and mystical lands I thought it would stay a grand day.
I now nominate

So looking forward to see what you come with, knowing it will be tens of times better than mine!
ps. I did a little research and the book Gadsby is a story of over 50,000 words without using the letter “E” by Ernest Vincent Wright. That is, just, well. Nuts.
Smashing job there! I love how creative people can be.
Yayyyyy! Must admit it took a little while and the second sentence doesn’t quite work but imma happy with it! :))) xx
I’m so impressed by your paragraph, Lizzie. Thanks for nominating me! SD
Oh really?! Eee that’s so wonderful to hear! Cannot wait to see what you come up with 🙂 xx
Congratulations – that was very accomplished writing, considering the difficulty you were under:)
Eeeeee thank you! 🙂 it was a lot of fun writing it but it was quite tough 🙂 x
This challenge sounds like so much fun, good job!
Thank you! Everyone is being so lovely about my paragraph eeee x
Great job! Seriously, Gatsby does not have a single E??
Noooo Gadsby 🙂 apparently haha he wanted to prove he could do it
I’m sorry *bows head in shame* (I haven’t read it yet!) Haha that’s so cool! 😉
