You know, I started this blog in July of 2006 to document my progress in writing songs for my so called grand masterpiece. Well, it's been two years now and I haven't done jack squat! How the heck did that happen? What a loser I am!
Well, okay, that's not completely true, because I did complete FAWM 2008 this year, but those songs weren't meant for the new CD. And they really sucked anyway. I was happy with some of the lyrics I came up with though. But the melodies--good grief, they were so horrible. I'm in such a rut with melodies. I burned a CD of my FAWM songs and I was listening to them in my car, and they're just so horrible.
Well, on to something new, and luckily I have the 50 Songs in 90 Days Challenge to prod me. Yep, I first attempted this in 2002, and now I'm using it again as a tool to fight against my natural laziness. FAWM is hosting it, which is nice.
In 2002, I ended up with something like 18 songs, and from that I culled the songs to be put on my first CD (okay, actually the first CD I did was a piece of crap I put on the old mp3.com). This time around I want to use this as a springboard for songs, so I won't be weighing myself down trying to make demos of them as I go. I really want to end up with 50 songs that I can work and refine later.
