FAWM 2009

Last year I discovered an interesting community of musicians online at FAWM.org. "FAWM" stands for February Album Writing Month; it's just what it sounds like. Each year in February, musicians from around the world—literally—challenge themselves by trying to write an entire album during the month of February. The goal is to create fourteen songs, one song every other day.

I tried to participate last year, but was unable to keep up. I finished one song and started a few others, but fizzled out early in the month. This year, I'm determined to complete the album, or at very least top last year's showing.

I will update this blog post over the course of the month to reflect my progress, and also to post demo tracks when applicable. Check back often to follow my balancing act of music madness, real life, and school.
