The Telescopic Text December 3, 2008

This is an interesting little experiment that I came across on another blog, mostly on design, but it has some interesting things for writers as well. It’s called Telescopic Text, and it’s just a sentence that can be expanded into a longer, more complex sentence, by clicking on the words. In the end, it always becomes the same thing, but it’s an interesting thing to check out. While the design thing is probably a more interesting element, the actual fact of looking at the writing expand and become more descriptive is another good thing to check out, as a lot of people, myself included, don’t describe things well. Here’s an actual sentence, “I made tea.” being built out into a full paragraph, full of asides, ideas, actions, and sensory effects. Check it out at: Telescopic Text by Joe Davis
