Oops, I started a ridiculous challenge.
More you might like
This is why it’s ridiculous, fyi:
Listen… my entire personal life is fucked… but I have written over 2000 words without using the letter ‘i’ even once… does that count for anything…
This is… I mean. Incredible. But terrifying.
You’ve written over 2000 words with no ‘it’. No ‘ing’. Oh God, no ‘ing’.
You’re a force to be reckoned with.
No ‘it’, no ‘is’, no ‘-ing’, no ‘in’, no ‘I’. I’m on 2,700 words now, and I’m… not sure how I’ve managed to do this. Dialogue is proving the biggest challenge, unsurprisingly. Why did I do this to myself?
So this is going to be like 15-20k when it’s done… um
If I finish this, I will probably count it amongst my greatest achievements.
Op you’re the most powerful person on writeblr right now
That’s good to hear because I’ve lost all semblance of control with respect to every other facet of my life, but
I’m maybe a third of the way through now?? So that’s good???? And now I’m going to have a very relaxing bath??????
I probably have about another 14,000 words to go and honestly, when I hit 10k (the expected halfway point), I’m going to treat myself to writing 100 words of something else that has the dang letter ‘i’ in it
Nearly wept when I realised I couldn’t use the word ‘frantic’ earlier, but
7.5k is my next milestone, and it actually might happen tomorrow, which is unnerving. How should I celebrate??
Getting really bad impostor syndrome today and feeling 95% sure that I will never amount to a thing and will probably never finish this story, and so in response to that dumb brain thought I did this
Suck it, subconscious.
You are a force of nature and I am both impressed and terrified.
Please publish this somewhere when you a e done so we can read it holy shit
I absolutely will!! In other news I hit 10k today and that’s without a thesaurus and oh golly, my poor think-box
This author is a sleeping God among mortals
The Earth fears their awakening into their full powers
Full powers yet to be confirmed, but after a short hiatus, I have returned
When I get to 12k, I might do a very elaborate jig
I really hope the title of your story is “Team.”
Alas, as good a pun as that is, it would not really suit a story about Eurydice escaping her failing marriage to Orpheus by fleeing to the Underworld and becoming a powerful undead entity, but the name of it will be a sort of pun. Ish.
Wow. I really want to read this.
question: Eurydice has an i in it ?
Answer: the age old trope of the unnamed narrator, linking back to the theme of identity. A key theme in the story is how Eurydice doesn’t have a true sense of selfhood, which is what the omission of the letter i stands for. Because of this, it actually plays into my favour that I can’t use her name! Makes it super tricky to write the scenes with her and Persephone, but I’m getting there.
God mode: Publish it.

The San Diego Zoo has achieved another milestone this spring, after 4-year-old Amur leopard, Satka, (pronounced Saat Ka) gave birth to two cubs—the first time Amur leopard cubs have been born at the Zoo since the rare species first arrived in 2011. The cubs were born April 5th and are now spending more time outside of their den and in public view. Over the past few weeks, Satka has been introducing the young ones to their habitat, slowly allowing them to explore, climb and play, before corralling them into the den for feedings or to rest. Animal care staff said that so far, they haven’t had much contact with the cubs. Instead, their objective is to allow Satka to take the lead in their care. More info here.
how to help sick bee!!
is bee on ground? is bee not moving much?? is bee tired??? help sick bee!!!
- use paper to pick up bee!
slide slowly under little bumbly legs and little bumbly body until bee is fully on paper
- bring bee inside to open window or open door!!!
when bee is better, bee will fly out!
- make sugar water for bee!
mix two (2) to three (3) tablespoons of sugar (can be normal sugar or organic sugar! no artificial, no diet sweetener, no sweetener, just sugar!!!!! no honey either!!!!!!) with one (1) tablespoon of water! stir until sugar dissolves!!!! - put sugar water on plate or spoon for bee!
give to bee! put bee on clean parts of plate or hold spoon near bee! if bee gets stuck in sugar water, use paper to help them get unstuck! - let bee drink and rest!!!!!
- can put a bowl / plate / container of sugar water outside for other bees!!!!! use same two to one (2:1) or three to one (3:1) ratio for mix!!!!!
I tried this but the bee wouldn’t drink the sugarwater. Then I had the brilliant idea “Flowers” so I went out and picked some wildflowers and placed them near it. It didn’t have much energy, but it was able to crawl into one and start drinking the nectar. After sitting on the flower and chilling for a bit, it had the energy from the nectar to fly away.
!!!!! more idea for helping bee friens!
Reblog no matter what. Always. This is vital information and if you dare not to reblog because “it doesn’t fit with my blog” I will track you down and choke you with a flower until you do reblog as a plead for mercy. Don’t fuck with the bees fucktard.
