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.

Yes, the Old Soldier is looking for his next Guest Writer. If you write short stories, consider submitting one to the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette, the most dynamic flash fiction magazine on the internet. I love showcasing flash fiction talent. I publish literary, mainstream, erotic and romance flash fiction.
The Submissions tab is at the top of the page.
PS: Once your story is accepted, it will be in constant rotation to the Home Page so that it gets the exposure that it deserves.

The Old Soldier has just come in from his walk around the neighborhood. What a lovely, sunny and warm day it has turned out to be in Pittsburgh. I walked past Sonny’s Tavern and bought a couple of things at the Millville Express, that’s the name of the little grocery store on the corner right up from Sonny’s. I had to ask Alex, who is from the Middle East, what the name of his store was since there is no sign outside.
The sign is broken and sits up against a shelf inside the store. I told him that I mention his store in my blog. He seemed pretty pleased about me mentioning his small store in my blog.
He even thanked me.
