FAWM (14 songs in 28 days) starts Feb 1!

Post by hummingbird » Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:36 am

Yes, "February is Album Writing Month" starts Sunday February 1st at 00:01 hours. Are you in? The challenge is to write 14 songs in 28 days. Songs, instrumentals, lyrics. Demos or fully produced. Sign up on the FAWM site and take the plunge! Why? Because it's fun. Because you'll be pushing yourself to write. Because maybe you'll write something you wouldn't have written without challenging yourself. Sign up here:http://fawm.org/Look me up and "follow" me here:http://fawm.org/fawmers/vikkiflawith/

I've looked the other way for two years now, since I first heard of it. I always figure this would just be really annoying to my family, sort of like leaving for a month, or starting a new drug habit. Well, that's probably about right...but I'm going to do it anyway.I'll need to be smart about time because I work six day weeks, about 60 hours a week. I mainly have Tuesday and Wednesday mornings to get it done, so I'll need to write 3-4 songs over the course of those mornings four weeks in a row. Seems doable. But like Jo told me over at Tunesmith..."Pressure can burst pipes or make diamonds." I'm hoping for the latter.Good luck to all y'all!
