Haiku: Her Morning Breasts

He awakens first 

The rising sun hot outside

Her breasts bare and warm

*****

It’s time to begin a new day of blogging.  At 10:00 AM, it is already a lovely summer day in Pittsburgh. 

Have you told anyone about the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette, the most dynamic flash fiction blog on the internet?  I’m sure your friends would appreciate the tip, especially if any of them are readers or writers.

I’m always looking for writers to publish.  Just read the submissions guidelines at the top of the page and send me something: erotica, romance, literary or mainstream.

Tell all your friends about the excitement that is flash fiction.

Writing: These Lovers Kiss And Tell

Yes, what do lovers do behind closed doors?  I think you know.

Hello, my brother and sister bloggers, readers and writers.  It’s the Old Soldier blogging out of Pittsburgh.  The day was summer weather perfect.  You could not want a better summer day in Pittsburgh.

And I tell you what else.  You will find great flash fiction erotica on this blog.  Check out the Sexy Stories tab at the top of the page.

Then check out the Submissions tab, too.  Or, take out a free subscription and have the PFFG delivered every morning to your inbox.

This blog is about life, sexuality and writing.

Writing: Erotica Does Not Have To Be Dirty

I tell writers who want to submit to the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette that there is no need to use vulgarities and profanities in the erotica they send this blog.  And I also want there to be  a story about a relationship in any erotic flash fiction that is submitted.

A sexy story should still be about characterization like any other story.  It just has sex in it.  The stories under Sexy Stories at the top of the page are perfect examples of what I’m looking to publish. 

So, if you have something that fits, read the submissions guidelines at the top of the page and send it to me.

Tips On Submissions To This Blog

My Ebook. The Link Is At The Top Of The Page.

If you would like to submit a short story to this blog, I would like to publish you. 

Hello, readers, writers, bloggers and my Flash Fiction Fanatics.  I am always looking for flash fiction talent to publish.  The first thing you want to do is read the submissions guidelines.  The guidelines are at the top of the page.  Then it would be smart to read a few of the stories that are already on the blog.

I publish erotica, literary, mainstream and romance stories.  All stories should take place in the present, more or less, and there should be no exchange of money for sex.

Sexuality And The Flash Fiction Writer

A reader might think that the flash fiction story is too short to handle a subject as complicated as human sexuality.  If a flash fiction writer tries to dramatize sexuality, he or she will find it an impossible task. 

But if the flash fiction writer tries to capture a significant moment in a relationship and that moment happens to be a moment of sexual tension, that writer will find that the short length of the flash fiction story is perfect.

You will find several examples of these moments at the top of the page under Sexy Stories.

Explore the blog and then read the submissions guidelines at the top of the page and send me something.

Tell all your friends about the excitement of flash fiction and read the submissions guidelines at the top of the page and send me something.

Pantyhose Are For Men

Yes, the Old Soldier remembers how thrilling it was to run his hand up the skirt or dress of a woman who wore pantyhose.  How warm and silky smooth her legs felt.

But women seldom wear pantyhose now.  Even when they get dressed up.  My female friends tell me that pantyhose itch and cause yeast infections.  Now about the only time most women wear pantyhose is in a man’s imagination.

Well, I took the above photo several years ago with a disposable camera in my apartment.  It is one of my favorite photos.

Flash Fiction: Woman, Wife And Lover by Guy Hogan

Hello, my brother and sister bloggers, readers and writers.  And I have not forgotten my Flash Fiction Fanatics. 

It’s around 11:30 AM in Pittsburgh on an overcast, warm day.  We’ve had a lot of overcast days lately.  I need some sunshine.  I just want to draw your attention to a story in the sidebar on the right under Great American Flash Fiction Stories To Read.  Just scroll down to “Woman, Wife And Lover” and enjoy.

If you are a writer, read the submissions guidelines at the top of the page and send me something.

Keep reading and keep writing.  This is the Old Soldier blogging out of Pittsburgh.

A Nude Woman And The Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days Of Summer

I’m sure I will be putting up more posts during this warm, overcast day in Pittsburgh so check back later for the latest updates.  I’m having all kinds of computer problems, but what else is new? 

There are plenty of articles and flash fiction short stories on this blog to keep you entertained and in this post is another study of the nude female form.  The photo is some of my old amateur work shot with a disposable camera.  The model is pressing against one of the speakers of my old PA system when I used to sing lead in different local rock and roll bands.  The bands never made it and now my PA system is just furniture in my living room.

Keep reading and keep writing.

President To Announce Troop Withdrawals

The American people have spoken.  1,600 lives and trillions of dollars have been enough.  That does not mean that Afghanistan will not cost the United States more lives and more trillions of dollars.  We are not out of Afghanistan yet; but the speech that President Obama will make tonight at 8:00 PM, EST means this is the beginning of the end.  Of course, the actual end will stretch far into the future.

But what always amazes the Old Soldier is how we as a society can come up with trillions of dollars to invest in a foreign country in a foreign war but we cannot come up with the money to invest in our own educational system or in our own infrastructure or in our own environment or in our own people.

*****

Well, how’s everyone doing on this warm, overcast day in Pittsburgh?  The Old Soldier wants to say hello to the people all over the world who read this blog and to encourage you to explore the blog.

You will find the flash fiction stories of Guest Writers in the sidebar on the left.  You will find my flash fiction stories under Guy Hogan in the sidebar on the left.  You will find an XXX-rated story at the top of the page.  And Sexy Stories at the top of the page along with an E-book that is available.  Then there are more flash fiction stories in the sidebar on the right along with articles on writing and blogging and commentaries on life scattered throughout the blog.

There are over 2,000 postings in this publication and dozens of photos of nude women.

And guess what?  99% of everything is free.

So, keep reading and keep writing and send me something.  This is the Old Soldier blogging near the University of Pittsburgh.

Yes, the Old Soldier is on a tight budget and can now only splurge on a night of karaoke once a month.  Well, this Friday is the night.  I’ve been doing my breathing and stretching exercises and should be in fine voice on Friday.  I think I’ll start off with She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult.

Flash Fiction And Lady Gaga Shows Her Nipples Again

Actually, there is nothing difficult about keeping your reader happy.  No, let me rephrase that because good writing is always difficult and I assume we are talking about good writing.  A writer has to do one basic thing to keep his or her reader happy: write a resolution that is believable.

How’s that?

What a lovely day in Pittsburgh for the first day of summer.  And there is so much going on in the world: The Arab Spring, the debate over raising the debt ceiling of the US Government, the ruling of the US Supreme Court on the class action law suit against Walmark and Lady Gaga showing the nipples of her breasts to the world.

You see, we flash fiction writers can use all of these things as the backdrop for our little dramas of love and lust and relationships and war.

Creative Writing: Staying Inspired

The Old Soldier has been writing for more than 45 years.  How do I stay inspired, especially since I make only a little more than a dollar a day from online writing?  Well, I’ll tell you.

When I first started to write seriously I had just come back from Vietnam.  Writing was therapy.  It was the way that I dealt with my demons; and not just the demons I had from Vietnam but the demons I had left over from growing up in a home where my father was a wife beater.

It was through writing that I was able to control my emotions and to make sense out of the world.

To be truthful with you, that has not changed much.

*****

Of course, I was also inspired by the authors that I read: Hemingway, John O’Hara, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Dorothy Parker…the list goes on and on.  And if you are a writer I bet you can find some flash fiction and some articles on this blog that will inspire you, too.

Keep reading and keep writing.
