The Furious Spinner

I have the pleasure of introducing an original new weblog by poet and short story writer Mario Milosevic! For some time Mario has been writing very short pieces which somehow contain and explain an idea or story in only a few words. He's been writing ninety-nine word pieces called Terrastina and Mazzoli for over a year. It's about a married couple who have twin daughters and run a coffee shop called The Brew. Mario is able to express the characters' personalities and dip into their lives in ninety-nine words a day. For the reader (I'm the only reader right now), reading Terrastina and Mazzoli every day is like eating a chocolate fudge sundae (a bite a day) or an entire pie all by myself slowly, savoring each bite.

Now Mario is doing a similar thing with his weblog, Conditional Reality, although he's not writing about one family but on a variety of subjects and flights of imagination. He says on the site: "One hundred words a day, unless I have nothing to say." He also says, "A few years ago I wrote a poem a day for about three years straight. It was a liberating and instructive experience. I want to do a similar thing with prose. I have adopted a prose form which consists of one paragraph of exactly 100 words. I hope others will find the blog entertaining and/or enlightening." I've put a permanent link to the weblog on the right with the other links.

Enjoy! 0 comments
