There is no FAQ about FAWN so how am I - as a newcomer - supposed to know what to do when February comes? Where and how do I post songs?

Very bad web-design in my opinion, good for you who already know FAWN, but I feel lost.

Basically you will be doing the same thing you do here...
1. Write your song.
2. Record your song.
3. Upload your song to SoundCloud.
4. Post the link on your FAWM page.
5. Take a break... Listen & comment on the songs of others.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 thirteen more times.

They call it FAWM (February Album Writing Month) but,
since I have other responsibilities, I've come to call it NoSleepFebruary Album Writing Month. smile

If I left anything out, perhaps Scott, Joanne, or Belladonna will add it.

Some other thoughts...
They provide you with a musical prompt (creative idea) every week, but you don't have to use it.
They have collaborations & "skirmishes" if you wish to participate.
A "skirmish" is basically another name for a prompt designed to get the musical juices flowing.
You don't have to create 14 songs... that's just the idea of the challenge... can you so it?
You don't have to create songs that are ready for release... just rough musical ideas.
You probably should be ready to relax, loosen up, & have fun...
Be ready to meet a lot of nice people from all over the world that have the same passion for songwriting you do.
