Writing a novel omitting the letter "A".

Ch_r_cters re missing too. I c_nnot obsess _bout drin Monk _nd ll his phobi_s even though he’s occupied much of my time since Ch_rter disconnected my c_ble. H_ppily, I will be b_ck online next Tuesday. To prevent further interruption from th_t d_y forw_rd I will h_ve the internet on two sources, computer nd phone. On the 17th, I will c_ll Ch_rter _nd h_ve them pick up _ll their equipment from my house.

This exercise is not _s fun _s it w_s when I began it. I’ll guess I have to _ttempt different ide_ number four. Maybe I wasn’t meant to win N_nowrimo this year. Why should it be different than _ny other year? I’ve tried for five years and h_ve never succeeded. _ll I do is write these weird _ttempts. I think if I’m actually going to do this, in this format, I need to have someone type for me, do only do a p_ge a d_y, and have more patience than I possess. I’m frustrated and it’s only the first letter. 25 more to go. I don’t think so.

I never re_lized how many words I use on a regular basis that include _. I c_n get around it if _ is the first letter of the word. However, if it’s in the middle I forget it’s presence. Just like the haiku I was creating last night. I somehow forgot that new had _n E. I think I would drive myself and my _ssist_nts crazy if I stuck with this project. One p_ge is enough. Thank you.

I don’t even know what to s_y anymore except that I’m very tried of the letter A. Good thing I’m not on Sesame Street or I would be put in the timeout corner. M_ybe I will suggest this exercise to my te_cher friends. I bet their kids would get a kick out of it. But I’m done.
