Woman As Art
That’s my attitude toward flash fiction writers: each one is an artist.
Now some are mediocre artists and some are talented artists. Every flash fiction writer that is published in the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette is a talented artist. And they are great entertainers, too.

The Death And Rebirth Of Karaoke
Hardly anyone showed up (again) for karaoke at Del’s in Bloomfield (Little Italy) last night.
I think it’s time for the Old Soldier to make a change. Even though I have a lot of history invested in Del’s, I’m going to start going to Nico’s for karaoke.
Nico’s is also in Little Italy and has been voted the best karaoke bar in the city several years by The City Paper, a local weeklie that focuses on local politics and culture.

Del’s has karaoke on Friday nights. Nico’s has karaoke on Saturday nights.
I’ll be at Nico’s tonight.

Flash Fiction Writer: Documentarian And Philosopher
Like any true artist, the serious flash fiction writer must hold up a mirror to life; he or she must be committed to the unflinching truth about the human experience.
This is an honorable calling.
But the flash fiction writer also has another important responsibility. He or she is convinced and therefore must prove, that the human experience is made up of countless significant “moments” from birth to death. And that it is possible to capture each of these moments in a few hundred words of concentrated prose.
The flash fiction writer documents life and turns it into art.
