Hello bloggers and writers. It’s the Old Soldier here with the Thursday edition of The Gazette, the #1 flash fiction blog on the web. Now I want you to do me a favor. I want you to submit to me something between 50 and let’s say about 300 hundred words on why you write and I’ll publish it. Whether you write poetry, fiction or non-fiction, I just want to know why you write. Check your spelling, punctuation and grammar because the way you write it is the way I’m going to publish it.
Send your submissions to hoganpitt@aol.com
Place the words, Tell Me Why You Write in the subject line of the e-mail and paste or type your article in the body of the e-mail. Include your name at the beginning of the article.
No profanity, please. That’s the only real limitation. And as I get the submissions I’ll publish them. Put a link to your own site at the bottom of your submission if you want to.
This is the Old Soldier reporting from Pittsburgh.

This Is Why I Write
When I was a young writer, trying to find my way, writing a 300 page novel over a period of several years, a novel that would probably get rejected, wasn’t very appealing. The same for a short story. Although a short story might take only a few days or weeks to write that was still a lot of time to put into something that would probably get rejected, too. I guess writing flash fiction was a way for me to lessen the pain of rejection: I didn’t have as much time invested in flash fiction like I would have had in a story or novel.
But then something strange happened: I began to understand the potential of the very short story. I began to see the artistic beauty of the concise, concrete capturing of a few moments in time; and the total self-sustaining life of a well-written piece of flash fiction filled me with transcendent wonder.
Flash fiction has become my obsession.
