This was amazing!!
Definitely made me smile. I'm inspired to try and make a story without a specific letter, it seems like such a fun, but challenging idea!
I agree with @eilisBK the word choice was very out there, but I love that about it.
It makes the reading experience even more fun in my opinion
Overall, it was such a funny, unique, read and i really enjoyed it <3

This was a really nice read!

Usually I only read poems on here but I was not disappointed. and you didn't have any E's in this story! Like what? How amazing! I wouldn't have been able to write something like this let alone Evan thought about writing this kind of story.

It's very unique and refreshing so thank you for that!

Oh I can't wait for anything else you might have in store

Wow, I definitely really loved this piece. I was absolutely so surprised and pleased that you actually didn't include any e's whatsoever. That's really impressive! I loved how there was a lyrical feel to this writing, almost like a poem and the dry humour definitely got a chuckle out of me here and there.

It's difficult to offer suggestions to this piece as, 1) your grammar was pretty much spot on and 2) while sometimes the word choice did seem a little... jarring? out there? I can't fault you for that as you're searching for words that don't include E's.

I think that this was a super creative idea and I'm excited to see what else you have to offer! Really nice work!

Hi DrfeelGood,

Sulamit here with a short review !




This type of writing is new to me.I usually read something familiar within my reach but today I though I would venture out ......I was not disappointed !



Thank you for writing this peace of wonder-fully written !

Hi DrFeelGood,

Mailice here with a short review!

I like your approach here of writing a story that can probably encourage other readers to write a story without a specific letter. I think it gives you a whole new insight into the language and which letters appear how often.

I like how the idea came about in the first place; which shows that in some ways Joshi is still a petulant teenager who has yet to find his way, in the world. However, I really like this idea he has to give his frustration legs.

I love that you've made Joshi's language a bit "elevated", which underlines well what you wrote about him in the introduction, and what stories he's actually writing. It makes me like him a lot.

You've put in some very great ideas and metaphors that make it a great pleasure to read. You really put a lot of effort into it.

I like how the whole story revolves around him trying to solve one problem but only coming up with the "solution" to another problem that he doesn't even realise he has. I think it's really great how you managed to make the story so there's no "E" to be found. Kudos for that.

Stylistically, you've done a good job of making this story a good length, too. You created an interesting and likeable character where I would love to read other stories he has written.

Other points that stood out to me:

A book, a boy, a thought, an appalling situation!

With his story drowning into oblivion.

hi, hello, greetings, salutations, good morning, good evening, good afternoon, and good night as well as many other pleasent things that I do not have time for. Anyway, Wolf here.
This was such an adorable little story. I enjoyed reading it and it was very entertaining.
And an interesting challenge it is as well to write a story without one of the most common vowels! And you did pretty well on it if it was your actual intention not to use any e's although you did use it a few times. Which given the title does take a way from the story a bit

good job on the story and not using e

had fun reading

wish I was better at giving reviews

good luck with any other stories you might work on

hey there! here for a review!
Honestly, I can't stop laughing. I laughed a lot while reading this and still now, I am laughing. U really did an amazing job writing such an amazing, humorous story. I searched for 'E's throughout the story but no, I didn't find a single one. It's really praiseworthy how you have managed to do this. I think that you have portrayed what you have faced while writing this story or maybe a similar one through Joshi. Really, a lot of thanks to that 'b'. If Joshi hadn't got that, I would not have the opportunity to read such an awesome story. This is actually a very hard task to write something without vowels but you did it and Joshi? I don't really know if Joshi did it but I hope that Joshi did it. My review has many vowels tho. My review doesn't have any q and x.

Whatever, it was a nice read and I guess I will read your other stories too.
keep writing.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),

Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!

First Impression: Well, this was a really fun read here...surprisingly entertaining...I didn't really know what to expect coming into this considering the title...but surprisingly not only did it live up to the title, it also was a genuinely good story to read.

Anyway let's get right to it,

“This will only push my limits! I must do it.” Joshi thinks.

Joshi's writing a story. A Story without any A's!

Usually, Joshi avoids such daunting tasks, sticking to his familiar sarcastic and caustic wisdom for inspiration. Most of his ‘writings’, which folks would call, ‘opinions of a scathing absurdist’, usually wind up as formulaic rants on unimportant topics.

But today, Joshi has sworn to push his limits. Why? All thanks to that B Joshi got in his Linguistics class. Missing out on an ‘A’ hurt him so much, Joshi took up ‘A Story Without A’s’ prompt trying to justify how insignificant ‘A’ was to him.

Pity him though, that motivation is taking an instant hit as words and thoughts both drift away from him.

“What a fiasco! I am lost for words. I got nothing to talk about. A is practically ubiquitous. A book, a boy, a thought, an appalling situation! Ironic how my ‘appalling’ situation can’t avoid two A’s.”

“It’s hard! It’s so hard!!” Joshi sobs. “Without ‘A’, my writing looks hollow. My focus is shifting on my words than my thoughts!” his whining motor murmurs.

With his story drowning into oblivion, his dictionary-gazing and backspacing skills might just attain a pro-status. In fact, his laptop is visibly shouting, “Stop hitting my body, you stupid schmuck!”

“How about jotting down my thoughts first, without holding back for grammar? But plot is my priority. I can always go back and hunt down that bloody ‘A’ ! But that would look trivial. Writing trivial as ‘trivil’ or random as ‘rndom’ might look frivolous! Substituting it by its synonym won’t always work. How do I approach this?"

Is Joshi about to quit? No wait! A thought has him akin to a bolt of lightning.

“How about writing a story about a fictitious ‘Joshi’ writing a story with no U’s? Joshi’s hardships, his pain and suffocation could mirror my own conundrum.”

In a flash, it all fits in. His task is now his plot. Joshi is finally writing his story:

“This will only push my limits! I must do it.” Joshi thinks.

Hello DrFeelGood! Incoming review!

This is a funny story and I enjoyed reading it. If you meant for the title to be take literally, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but you used 2 "e"s in your story one right here,

Plot should be my priority.

After a bit of toiling

But plot is my biggest priority

A bit of toiling and a lot of whining past Joshi...

“What a fiasco! I am lost for words. I got nothing to talk about. A is practically ubiquitous. A book, a boy, a thought, an appalling situation! Ironic how my ‘appalling’ situation can’t avoid two A’s.”
