Woman As Art
Writers, this magazine is for you! I’m 66 years old and I am pouring all of my experience and understanding of life and writing into this blog. I have done this for four years and I will continue to do it for as long as I can.
This is the Old Soldier. I’m the editor/publisher of the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette. What started out four years ago as the online journal of a baby boomer has evolved into the most exciting flash fiction magazine on the Internet.
If you don’t believe me, just check out the front page. If you like the front page, I encourage you to visit often.
This is a magazine published by a writer for other writers. We are all in this together.
This is the Old Soldier reporting from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

My Experience Making Money With Online Ghost Writing
Image via Wikipedia
I write for a site called Textbroker. It is free to sign up for and you get paid to ghost write. There are five levels of writers. I have a rating of three. You would think that since I have an MFA in fiction writing I would be higher; but like every organization they have their own parameters of what is good writing. I’m still learning to give them what they want; but being a level three writer means I make a penny a word.
On the site are several categories you can choose your assignment from. I have found that Press Releases, History and News work best for me. The requirements that the clients ask for are simple and I can accept and assignment, go to the original article, re-write it, submit my re-write to the client and make a quick $1.50 in one hour.
Before you laugh, that adds up to $45.00 a month. You may still be laughing but $45.00 a month is still $45.00 a month. Add $45.00 a month to my social security, my pension from Giant Eagle and the military pension that I will become eligible for in October and you see where the Old Soldier is coming from.
