Are you tired of sex stories full of mindless profanities and characters who act like professional porn actors and actresses?  Are you tired of storylines that make no sense?  Are you sick and tired of sex stories that seem to be written by writers who are semi-illiterate?

Would you like to read sex stories where the characters act like real people?  How about sex stories that actually tell a story?  Wouldn’t that be refreshing?  How about just plain old good writing?

Welcome to the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette.

Hi, I’m the Old Soldier, the editor/publisher of this blog.  Okay, I’m a blogger and I’m proud of it.  I’m retired and for the first time in my life I’m my own boss and it feels good.

I don’t want you to think that stories about sex are the only things you will find on this blog.  But the erotica on this blog is some of the best sexy flash fiction you will find on the Internet.

Think I’m just bragging?  Explore the site.  If you like stories about sex that appeal to the libido and the intellect, you will not be disappointed.

It’s the Old Soldier here doing what bloggers do: surfing the web and working on his blog.

So far this month the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette is averaging 725 pageviews every day.  That’s down from last month.  I’m really looking forward to next month.

Next month I’m going to publish the work of at least four other writers.

My goal as a blogger is to continue to offer insights into how to write flash fiction.  And to publish the best examples of flash fiction that I can find.

Explore the site.  There are over 3,200 pieces of content on the site.  You’re sure to find something of interest.

This is a blog of serious writing and brazen sexuality.

Are you a blogger?  The Old Soldier is a blogger.  I’m a full-time blogger.  And I’m a professional blogger.  This blog is more than four years old.

But the ups and downs of pageviews still baffle me.

For several weeks, you could type in the search term “flash fiction” and this blog would pop up near the top of the first page of Google.

Now type in the term “flash fiction” and this blog is nowhere to be found even if you go back 10 pages of Google.  Pageviews have dropped from a daily average of around 1,200 to 700.

But the Old Soldier knows how these things work.  What goes around comes around.  I just have to try to put up the best content I can every day.  And the number of pageviews will inevitably start to climb once again.

Crock Pot Cooking For Writers

I went food shopping earlier today.  I do a lot of my food shopping in Bloomfield (Little Italy) which is a short walk from my apartment.  One of the things that I picked up was a corned beef brisket.

Usually, I just throw the brisket with its juices into the crock pot with whatever else I’m cooking; but the brisket would taste salty.  So now I drain the juices away first and then let the brisket soak in cold water for an hour or so.

Four hours later, and the Old Soldier is dancin’ a jig.
