Avoiding A Common Letter

Posted in Lipogram on March 13, 2008 by corvalliswolf

I’m going to simply write explicitly regarding my endeavor. I’m eschewing the use of a single letter in this paragraph. It’s the same thing I did in the last one. I won’t make you guess as to what I’m playing at, just how I’m doing it. What is the letter that doesn’t appear in this entry. It’s quite a common letter, and the larger the length of the entry, the more I’m having to avoid it. Although I do find myself getting far too self-referential while I’m composing this chapter in my writing on this site. It’s hard not to sound hackneyed or stilted whilst in this style, although I am trying not to. My English is sharpened when I impose restrictions upon my use of the language. Of course, I do still need to sleep, so I ought to head towards some z’s. Perhaps if you have yet to discover my game, you’ll improve with tomorrow’s entrance in our sweepstakes, eh?

There is something different in this entry. The first letter is missing. The first letter of something, but I won’t tell you how to know it’s origin. It’s possible my writing is rough, due to my inexperience in this exercise. I’m finding difficulty in my discipline within this theme. I hope to become more proficient, but it won’t occur for some period of time. Did you figure it out yet? Do you know the missing element? If not, you likely fit with most of the country. This is not the most common of skills, but it could be useful to your writing life. By this point, I’d just like to see how long this piece will continue. The limits of this test forced me to control my tenses to eschew the offending letter. By this point, I’m beginning to redouble myself, but my eloquence is diminished. I think I should stop while I’m in the front, so I don’t diminish my returns. This previous sentence misrepresented my intentions, but I must circumvent common terms. I’m done now, seriously, I’m not even joking now. I’m simply going to stop this while I’m in the forefront.
