What an awe inspiring summary of the chaos, madness, gritty determination and underdog story about the #powerhousecreatives and the contest. The generosity of @d-pend on top of @bluemist's delegation has stirred up inspiration in me to bring the best I can to the PHC.
Before this contest even happened, when I first stumbled in through the doors, greeted by the multiple emojis of @jaynie's boot, I thought I was well in over my head. How can I stand up to such literary genius from all the members in this talented group? All I do is push buttons, make a few noises and post.
But that's where you look at your options, you can take the first path that says "exit this way", the easy way out, leading to a world you already know and not driving yourself forward. Or you take the second path that says "continue this way", the challenge, learning from the best, feeling like a dunce at times but taking the time to make the content as good as possible.
I chose the second path and it's taken me on a wonderful journey of skill development with writing for which I am truly grateful. I have found a love for blogging and making it as damn well entertaining as I possibly can and it's all down to this community that Jaynie and @zord189 have set up.
And it does not take a genius to see just how passionate and determined those guys are. It breeds more passion and determination in the members - it's contagious - and if any one can't feel that and can't feed off of it, then they have a soul so cold it would make Antarctica look like Death Valley!
So thank you to #powerhousecreatives, thank you to @d-pend and @bluemist for the delegations and thank you to everyone who came together and vote for this superstar community of writers!
I'll continue down the second path now :)
@nickyhavey,
As usual, a brilliant comment expressing brilliant commentary.
Utter baloney. Nicky is a fantastic writer that needs no development whatsoever. He's there. Greatest of his literary talents in one possessed by few: The ability to weave subtle humor as if it were a tapestry. For months, I have been nagging him to write satire as I intuit that this is where he will shine brightest.
It should be no secret that I'm trying to entice, strong-arm, coerce and blackmail @d-pend into joining the Power House Creatives (long before I was a poet, I was a soldier. Sometimes you use a hammer.). Dan, Nicky also shares your love of musical creation: Drums; bass ... electronic screwing around of some sort or another.
And he is also a great guy and a good friend.
home.@d-pend ... get your ass in here. PHC is a natural fit and would make a good ...

I'm being serious when I say that mate! Even the most natural of talents need to have some mentoring and guidance and I have certainly picked up a lot of tricks (indirectly) on how to write with a certain flow from no other than the flame ridden Free Quilly I'm replying to right now!
I'll see what I can do with the satirical writing and whether I can inject a bit of anti-venom in to this arena with my future blogs. Outside this all in the realms of "real" life, I currently have more plates spinning than most box office clowns, leaving little time but I post what I can, reverting to type in the process. That is, upload about the latest "music software button clicking" saga and share something the poor listener may refer to as a "tune".
However, with that in mind, there's no reason I can't try to merge a bit of humour in to those music posts a bit more often as well. Killing a few birds with one blog...
Hmm. Maybe there is some food for thought spinning on those plates after all. Step aside clowns, there's a new box office jester coming through ;)
@nickyhavey,
Thatta boy. Mark Twain ... as a DJ. Why not?
