The City of Pittsburgh got pounded last night.  The Old Soldier woke up to a winter wonderland.  Around three inches fell last night.  The city may get another inch today.

The Pittsburgh Pirates will begin the 2013 season one week from today.  Winter, be gone!

This is an online magazine of erotica, serious writing and brazen sexuality.

Coming Attractions For April

April is about one week away.  My publishing schedule is behind schedule, but I’m going to catch up in April.  One or two things that I wanted to publish in March I will now publish in April which means we can look forward to several flash fiction stories and several poems from some talented contributing writers next month.

This is a blog for writers.

Lindsay Lohan

Poor Lindsay.  Our girl needs help.  The medical community has told us that alcoholism is a sickness which means Lindsay is sick.  How many people really think that 90 days in rehab is going to make her see the light? 

I certainly don’t.

She’s already been in rehab twice.  And she keeps drinking. 

There are even reports in the entertainment media that she’s been offered a lucrative contract for a possible reality show once she gets out of rehab.  Of course, she could still be sent to jail.  Maybe jail would make her realize that she has a problem that may eventually kill her.  Has the death of Amy Winehouse taught her nothing?

When our celebrities act-out their issues so publicly, we love them even more because trouble makes them seem more like us.

Behind The Scenes (15 January 2013)

The Old Soldier has run out of things to blog about for the time being.  So, it’s time for a post about what’s going on behind the scenes.

*****

I have at lease two flash fiction stories from two guest writers for the first week of February.  It’s also time for me to look through the most recent poetry submissions and to make a decision about them.

*****

I’ve also started to slowly change the front page even though new content goes up nearly every day.  There are certain core posts I like to keep up so that new visitors know what the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette is about, but I also like to mix in different core posts, too.

Because readership has fallen off from a daily average of 1,037 hits in December to around 840 hits for January.

My old bass player and his wife sent me a card that contained a photo of their daughter and three sons.  He met his wife at one of our band practises.  We are talking around twenty-five years ago people.  I still have my mike, mike stand, four-channelled power mixer and two large speakers on top of each other in the living room.  It’s all just furniture now.  My how time flies.

I called the public library and renewed the last book that I check out: Dial M For Murdoch, News Corporation And The Corruption Of Britain by Tom Watson & Martin Hickman.

High stakes newspaper reporting is a dirty business: payoffs, phone and computer hacking, bribery and smear campaigns.  It makes for some interesting reading.

This is the Old Soldier reporting from Pittsburgh.

Beer And Woman As Art

Posted on September 1, 2012 by pittsburghflashfictiongazette

The Old Soldier got his money from his investments today (Social Security and two pensions).  So, I hung out in a bar for a while and brought home a six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer.

In other words, I won’t get much work done today on the magazine.  But don’t worry.  I’ll be on duty early tomorrow.

However you found this site, it is about serious writing and brazen sexuality.  It has four years of commentaries, flash fiction stories, articles on blogging and writing, commentaries and fiction about amateur women doing online adult videos and insights on life in general and the life of a writer in particular.

So, explore the site.  For most people there is too much of a focus on sex; but people said the same thing about Playboy Magazine.

Now that’s kind of quaint.
