  1. How about a funky Philadelphia instrumental from 1975?

    I only heard this track for the first time yesterday when it came on the radio, but I've listened to it on YouTube several time since then.

    That was a new one for me too. Of course, I then thought of this one, which you might already be familiar with by the same orchestra.

    K-Jee - MFSB

    (I dunno if it's one word since it's kinda sorta not a word. LOL)

  2. Our September 2012 Fan o’ the Month is JadedPhoenixBurning! Now don’t let that hot handle fool ya, Jaded has been cool addition to our HNet community, joining up in October of 2011.

  3. Brian is right.

    I think writing is a sort of NEED. I NEED to write, 'cause it's an "healty safety valve" to my fantasy (besides drawings, editing pictures and making videos, LOL); moreover, writing and publishing what you write is a great way to share with people like you your passions and feelings (writing and reading are no very common passions out there, and sometimes I feel like I'm "something else" in the world). Anyway, this NEED could be very "scaring" in its strength: it scares me how much deeply you can be driven into a story (a story YOU are writing, or you are reading too), enjoying and suffering with the characters. Scaring but.... FANTASTIC. Don't you think?

    Couldn't have put it better. It's a NEED. I can identify with that!

  4. Wanted to chime in on this Garrett as I've known you for many years now. :)

    First and foremost, deep down in your heart, I'm sure you don't want to give up writing totally -frustrating as things can be with it sometimes. I know, been there myself.

    So with that in mind, my first piece of advice is simple: Don't quit. :)

    I know the frustration of writer's block ("Hooper 3" anybody?) and the time constraints. If you're blocked on a story, just let it be. Shift to something else, if something else comes to mind. Goof around with your characters. Do some free writing, put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and just write something. Ramble! Rant! "If Garrett Duke wasn't such a sonofagun, I'd slap 'em.... " or whatever. LOL.

    If you're rethinking a storyline, there's nothing wrong with that. Go with it, give it a try. Listen to the muses, as I like to call it. They're trying to tell you something.

    As for your story being on a submitted site (and I'm assuming what site you're referring to... LOL)... I would have no problem if you decide to redo/replace stories or whatever on DOHFF. You page there is YOURS to display what stories you want. (Those who are keeping track tho' - yes I do have a rule regarding submitting multiple versions. This is more to do with editing/typo stuff to discourage folks from saying "oops, I found a typo, please post this version!" "Ooops, made another minor edit, please post this version!" "Sorry, found another typo! Please post this version!" See? LOL)

    So, if you're thinking to start over or whatever and want to remove a story and post something new/different that's fine I have no problem with that.

    And JadedPhoenix is right on that "write what you know" thing. If I wrote what I knew, I wouldn't write anything because I know nothing. :D
