Agreed.

That is not February Album Writing Month. First of all, it’s not a competition, it’s a challenge. Major difference Second, it’s about the supportive community as it is about anything else. Third and most important it’s about trying things in songwriting that you’ve never tried before and perhaps silencing the inner critic for a time. A vacation from your typical methods is a way of thinking about it.

Rather than assuming what it is about, just visit the site and see if it’s something to try. There is no cost associated with it, no penalty for a quick exit, no shame in not writing a single song.

I only post about it here every year in this songwriting topic group because I know what it did for me and learning from others and how they approach songwriting. And because it’s just dang fun in the doldrums of winter and a heckuva lot cheaper than a trip to Hawai’i!!!
