Hello hello hello, bloggers, readers, writers and my Flash Fiction Fanatics.  Well, Medicare did not take out money from my Social Security check.  Which means not only will the Old Soldier be stopping in at Sonny’s Tavern today for a few beers but he will also be at Del’s in Bloomfield for Friday night karaoke.

You can’t beat it with a stick!

The blogging day has begun.  The Gazette got 101 hits yesterday.  That’s two days in a row that The Gazette has gotten at least 100 visits.  That’s ten times that this site has gotten at least 100 visits in one day in the pass 30 days.  You make the Old Soldier very happy.

Keep reading and keep writing that old flash fiction.

It’s around 9:30 PM and this is probably the last blog post of the day.  It’s been a productive day for blogging.

Tomorrow the Old Soldier looks forward to having a few beers at Sonny’s Tavern.  I also need to download some papers I have to fill out and mail off in order to get another deferment on my student loans.

The PFF Gazette is averaging 90 hits every day for the month of September and it has gotten at least 100 hits eight times so far this month.

Keep reading and keep writing that flash fiction.  And if you are a short story writer, check out the Submissions tab at the top of the page.

Putting Up Flyers At Sonny’s Tavern

Posted on September 27, 2011 by pittsburghflashfictiongazette

The Old Soldier will be visiting Sonny’s Tavern some time tomorrow.  Sonny’s Tavern is on Millville Avenue, between Oakland and Bloomfield.  Paul, one of the owners, said I could put up some flyers asking for short story submissions for the PFF Gazette.  I have a printer, plenty of paper and some black magic markers.  That will have to do it.  The flyer will look something like this:

NOW ACCEPTING SHORT STORY SUBMISSIONS

PITTSBURGH FLASH FICTION GAZETTE

Then I’ll have the URL of the site on strips hanging down that can be torn off.  I know it’s crude, but it’s the best I can do under the circumstances.  Debbie will probably be behind the bar.  I wonder if she will have any tacks I can use to stick the flyers up.  I don’t want to have to buy a box of tacks.  That would cut into my beer money.

And you know how the Old Soldier feels about beer.

Yes, the Old Soldier is looking for his next Guest Writer.  If you write short stories, consider submitting one to the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette, the most dynamic flash fiction magazine on the internet.  I love showcasing flash fiction talent.  I publish literary, mainstream, erotic and romance flash fiction.

The Submissions tab is at the top of the page.

PS: Once your story is accepted, it will be in constant rotation to the Home Page so that it gets the exposure that it deserves.

The Old Soldier has just come in from his walk around the neighborhood.  What a lovely, sunny and warm day it has turned out to be in Pittsburgh.  I walked past Sonny’s Tavern and bought a couple of things at the Millville Express, that’s the name of the little grocery store on the corner right up from Sonny’s.  I had to ask Alex, who is from the Middle East, what the name of his store was since there is no sign outside. 

The sign is broken and sits up against a shelf inside the store.  I told him that I mention his store in my blog.  He seemed pretty pleased about me mentioning his small store in my blog.

He even thanked me.

The PFF Gazette Got 105 Hits Yesterday

The Old Soldier is ready for his walk around the neighborhood; but I will be walking around the neighborhood as a writer.  That makes all the difference in the world.

And if you are a writer, you must get into the habit of walking around, not as John Doe or Jane Doe, but as a writer.  Be a sponge.  Absorb absorb absorb.  Then write write write.

Hello, everyone!  The Old Soldier is in good spirits.  This is my third blog post of the day and it’s not even 2:00 PM yet.  It’s a partly sunny, mild day in Pittsburgh.  The PFF Gazette got 105 hits yesterday and tomorrow I’m going to have a few Pabst Blue Ribbon drafts at Sonny’s Tavern.

Paul, one of the owners, has told me that I can put up flyers asking for short story submissions for The Gazette.  I have a printer and plenty of paper.  Any flyer I make would be pretty crude.  But this is an opportunity the Old Soldier cannot pass up.

Keep reading and keep writing that old flash fiction.
