Hello, my brother and sister bloggers and writers. It’s a dreary, overcast day in Pittsburgh. But blogging must go on…
Sunday is the Pittsburgh Marathon. Organizers have registered 9000 runners. No, I won’t by running…
Yes, the Old Soldier has a short short story for your reading pleasure. The title is “Tainted Love.” You know where I got the title from, don’t you? From the song by Softcell. Let me give you a little history behind the writing of the story.
It took maybe an hour to write it. I had been “thinking” about a new story for days. I began to think about how restricted my life has become since taking early Social Security. I drink beer and blog. I’ve become a semi-hermit. How do you get a short story out of that? After I wrote the first draft, I put it aside until the next day. With some revision, I knew I had a winner.
The lesson for all you writers out there is that no matter what your life is like it’s a goldmine for creative writing ideas. This is what I did.
I made myself a lot younger. I gave myself a sexy girlfriend and bingo. I had a love story about blogging, sexuality, male-female relationships and money. Something any man or woman can relate to. So, just click on the link below.
