Can you write 14 brand-new songs in 28 days? www.fawm.orgGuidelines are here: http://fawm.org/wiki/faqEvery Feb hundreds of songwriters around the globe join together to participate in "F.A.W.M." (February is Album Writing Month). Goal is to pen "an album's worth" of songs (14) in 28 days. It's fun, it's motivating, it's pushing past the barriers. It's not about being perfect or writing hits (altho you never know), it's about igniting your creativity and exploring. Lyrics only, scratch worktapes of songs, instrumentals, spoken word, etc etc etc are all acceptable. What do you win? The satisfaction of knowing you pushed yourself to write more than you typically would. What if I don't write 14? Don't matter. Just being part of it, and maybe writing one more song than you would have, is worth it. The community over at www.fawm.org froths with creativity and inspiration. It's so much fun, it's a struggle... it's sleepless nights, it's so much fun. I love FAWM because it taught me to let go of my editor and take my creativity for a spin, and see what happens. I've even signed some of the tracks created during FAWMs and 50/90s. If you join, hit me up @ add me to your watch list: http://fawm.org/fawmers/vikkiflawith/

Oh yes! Everyone's gearing up for midnight tomorrow (January 31st).  The FAWM boards are rampant now with humour, anecdotes, challenge suggestions, technical and gear-related talk, and already heaps of inspiring ideas! Whatever else happens - and no matter whether you write one song/lyric or 14 of 'em - FAWM is an incredible learning experience. I've got my pens and notebooks (for rough drafts) at the ready. See you on the boards, Vikki and the two Kevins. Good luck with roping in your respective Muses.  (I'll be "watching" you.  ) Donna

"Whether your next song is #1 on Billboard, or a critical failure by all measurable standards, go look in the mirror. You are the exact same person you were the day before your received the news. Never forget that." -Brian Austin Whitney
