How To Write Great Erotic Flash Fiction

1)  Get rid of the dirty words

2)  The best sex stories are really relationship stories

3)  Give the reader just enough but not too much

Where can someone find examples of stories like these?  At the top of the page under the tab, “Sexy Flash Fiction.”…

It’s Christmas Eve and the Old Soldier is sipping on a tall glass of beer while four stuffed chicken breasts cook in the crock pot.  The stuffed chicken breasts are for tomorrow.  I’m eating canned corned beef today.  No, I didn’t stuff the chicken breasts.  I bought them that way at the store…

I don’t think the health care bill will have a public option in it but the Democrats should still pass it.  The Old Soldier can go to the VA Hospital; but the bill will cover 30,000,000 Americans who have no health insurance.

Pass the bill.

Flash Fiction: Lesbian Lust

Lesbian Lust is our erotica for today…

Well, the Steelers finally won a game and the Democrats passed the Senate health care bill.  The onside kick by Tomlin was a brilliant call.  The play wasn’t executed properly.  Look at the tape.  The Steelers players just needed to let the ball go one more yard and they were in a position to do it.  They got impatient; and the Democrats in the House might have to take the Senate bill just the way it is.

Waiting For The Sun

This overcast, dreary weather is driving the Old Soldier loco.  It’s a good thing I have the Gazette and ‘DVE to keep me sane…

It was strange not having the Steelers to watch on Sunday.  Everybody needs to stop this talk about winning the rest of the games on the schedule.  Just win the next game on the schedule…

I thought Obama gave an impressive interview on Sixty Minutes Sunday.  The interview was measured and thoughtful.  He gave reasonable answers to all the difficult questions.  Rome was not built in a day…

Hot Campbells’ Tomato Soup For Breakfast

After spending nearly 12 hours in bed, the Old Soldier is feeling a lot better.  The gout in the right foot is nearly gone and the carpal tunnel in the right wrist is nearly gone.  One of these days I’ll just go to the VA Hospital and have everything taken care of.  The only bad thing about going to the VA is that they insist on running every test they can on you and then you find yourself going back again and again and again.  It’s like joining a cult.  Soon your life revolves around the hospital.

Well, with the bad weather today in Pittsburgh, it would be a great time to stay home with a cup or two of hot soup like I’m doing and work on your creative writing.
