It's that time of the New Year again, folks! For a creative and zany escape from the winter doldrums, be sure to check out FAWM (February Album Writing Month). This annual songwriting challenge begins on 1 February and finishes on 1 March. The site has been revamped and is now open. Here's the new link.
Get ready for the new onslaught of lyrics, instrumentals, songs, and general madness & hilarity. Folks are already chomping at the bit, waiting to get started.
Four weeks of fun, inspiration, craziness, and camaraderie, ending in everyone having new songs, lyrics, poems, or instrumentals, ranging from one to 14 and more. You set your own goal. Fourteen pieces of work in 28 days is simply a guideline. Even if you produce only one piece of work, you're a winner. After all, it might be the one piece you wouldn't have created if you hadn't joined us.
Newcomers, please note that the idea behind FAWM is to post lyrics or songs that are written during the Challenge itself. Posting lyrics or songs written months or longer beforehand is basically cheating, and defeats the purpose of the Challenge.
FAWM = February Album Writing Month.
It’s OK though to post a song that started as a lyric in the previous Challenge (FAWM or 50-90) but didn’t get music until the current challenge (If you follow what I mean). Bottom line is to use the period from February 1stto March 1st to write and/or compose new material. You'll be amazed at what you come up with. There's inspiration aplenty!
NOTE: The pieces aren't intended to be final versions. It's all about just getting down the bare bones, whether lyrical or musical. The polishing and revising generally happens after FAWM has ended.
I'm 'mikeb' over there, search the 'FAWMERS' list for me.
