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

[yarimurray]

I first heard about FAWM last year (right after it ended - doh) and decided I had to do it. I work a lot also so I'll have to be creative with time management.I'm going to be collaborating with a bunch of friends I have jammed with over the years so I'm looking forward to more than just the songs that are created. We've scheduled several extended "jam" sessions to see what we get. We'll also be composing alone and in sub groups to get all of the tunes done in time.I'm at http://fawm.org/fawmers/yarimurray/MichaelP.S. Hopefully I'll get this whole avatar thing down (at both sites) soon.

Wow you guys are making me think I have to do this Do they have to be full productions or will guitar/vocal stuff work?

nvm.. answered my own question..What quality should my demos be? Good enough for a rough idea of the song. Some people put a lot of effort into their demos, others just sketch them out. But the point here is to write 14 songs, not record them, so don't get too hung up on it unless you really want to.

It's a No Lose Situation. If you come up short, you still have new songs. I'm not so concerned with the competitive/bravado aspect of it all...what I want is a.) to see what happens when I hit that "feelin' exhausted" stageb.) songs

I'll give it a tryhttp://fawm.org/fawmers/slowdancemaybe it'll bring spring faster.......

FAWM isn't "a competition". It's a personal challenge to push yourself to draft new songs / instrumentals / lyrics within a certain period of time. If you write 1 more song than you would have written without the challenge, you're a winner.

Holy MOLEY. All this time (nearly 18 months now), I've believed that this whole thing was just a great idea out of YOUR (Vikki's) head.There is a website for this?? Amazing. so, considering I only read the opening post on this thread, this may well be a absurdly redundant question, but...How do I find this site? Do I go to "February is Album Writing Month".com? FAWM.com?Rather than embarrass me here in public (something I figure I've already done enough on my own) any further, PM me with this info, if you would. Thanks.(Y'all forgive me...but I've just watched a friend of mine go from fine to looking weird to starting to cry to grabbing the right side of her head to collapsing onto the floor and going into seizure. I'm a little freaked out, and probably am trying to distract myself right now. I promise, I really AM interested in the answers to the questions I posted here.)Ted
