Edmonton Journal, Thursday, April 10, 2014 - section City and Region,A5,
article from commentary "Showcasing a city come of age" by Paula
Simons (words were taken in order of size: 1 letter to 12 letters, then back
down: 12 letters to 1 letter, throughout the article.)
THURSDAY,
APRIL 10: SNOWBALL
This
procedure requires the first word of a text to have only one
letter,
the second two, the third three, and so on as far as
resourcefulness
and inspiration allow. The first word of a snowball
is
normally a vowel: in English, a I or O.
From
your newspaper, select a starting vowel and then continue
adding
words of increasing length from the same source article or
passage.
Challenge yourself further by only using words in order
as
you encounter them in the text.
I know what you mean about finding this not as fun as it should be. I think the snowball that is done with words rather than syllables is much more fun. Just think, we get to do this one one more time, in reverse!
