Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette

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.
