lipograms that avoid a particular non consonant (not a or i) is highly difficult to do. It can only last for a short amount of words until a struggling author is struck by a long fit of insanity. And nonwithstanding said authors hard labours, his work shall probably pass into oblivion without making any impact on a world blissfully ignorant of authors long and painful hardships. His puny contribution shall only attract criticsim as fruit of a bad author who is failing at artful writing. But an author of lipograms is truly an outstanding artist. A work of art only functions as a display of an artists vast imagination. Now, a lipogram of any type-long or short, is argubly as high a form of grammatical art as anything.

At the start, i didn't think i would start two paragraphs, but this sort of writing only grows on an author. I am loving writing this, and in fact i think all of us should try lipograms occasionaly. Now, i must finish this topic to maintain what small amount of wit i can still call my own.

I thank you humbly for glancing at my pitiful try at a lipogram and i wish you a good day.



A lipogram is not difficult to do; I'm anticipating thousands of HN folks to try a hand at a writing task that sustains its popularity, thousands of folks trying to fashion a long-form post worth a look.

What is mostly unknown is a lipogram that tops any list of books that attain financial grandstanding (A Void notwithstanding), which brings a quick sadness.


your sophistication and the smooth flow of words contrasts badly with my post. Yours sounds natural and thoughtful and my post looks akward and uncouth by comparison. In fact upon looking again at my post, i must admit it is similar in look to bad instruction manuals which accompany low quality products, from china and japan.


Did you deliberately escape with the word “escape”?


i want to throw myself off a roof i'll edit it. Thanks
