As usual, a brilliant comment expressing brilliant commentary.
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.
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.
@d-pend ... get your ass in here. PHC is a natural fit and would make a good ... home.

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?
