I actually joined 50/90 and wrote a lyric. Last year, I joined the website but summer things took up too much of my attention and time.

So, to explain 50/90 I should explain FAWM. FAWM is a challenge that in February, you should write enough songs to make an album. Specifically, the challenge is to write 14 songs in the month of February, though it's fine to write less (or more). There's a wonderful friendly, playful community and a website. So, some of the FAWM people came up with a new challenge--to write 50 songs in 90 days, starting in July. This year it was July 4.

If anyone wants a peek, the lyrics are over here: https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/songs/25435

I should be making music for them soon, which (for me) often involves tweaking the lyrics to make them better. Think of this version as a first draft.

Having actually started, I will be writing more songs during the event. I'm not going to stress about making 50 of them, it matters more to me to work on writing good songs than writing a lot of them. (On the other hand, writing a lot of them counts as practice in the art of songwriting, which is a good thing, but still not going to stress about it.)
