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.

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

(and I haven't written anything with lyrics for years so that is kind of fun. I was inspired by the other songs I heard at the FAWM web site. Now I just have to add music and record them...) You can listen to my pieces/ read the lyrics here...Midsummersnight http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default ... 7299231You Were Never Mine http://fawm.org/songs/716/Let's Dance (Like We Used To Do)http://fawm.org/songs/1677/The Bitter Breakup Songhttp://fawm.org/songs/1684/The Unknown (which is also posted here on peer to peer)http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default ... D=7322346I am a little behind since I have only done 5 songs so far and the rest of the month is kind of crazy (5 performances with two different orchestras + scoring a documentary) but hopefully I have time to write some more... Either way FAWM has inspired and motivated me to write more than I would have otherwise - and that is something!~ Lydia
