This is another of those odd things I've been drawn to (and quite curious about)
For those of you who haven't heard of it, E-Prime is a method of speaking/thinking that removes all forms of the verb 'to be'.
It's challenging to get the hang of but something I've considered trying for a while.
This inevitably leads to the question - has anyone tried writing a book using some kind of controlled language or playing a literary game?
How about using acrostics or something of the sort? Those are so rare but delightful when you find them!! LOL
