FAWM 2013

Happy 2013!
Four years ago I took on a challenge that I thought sounded fun, might gain some fan involvement, and would keep me writing in the most dreary part of the year: February Album Writing Month.

I had no idea it would result in over 40 songs written, 500+ song titles suggested, and in 2012, an album that I am incredibly proud of.

Best of all, a fun, fierce, creative niche of fans and friends has been established, and for each of you I am incredibly thankful.

Last year I took a break from FAWM to release Everything We Say.

It was fun and rewarding, but this year I'm back.
I missed the writing and I missed you all!

For those of you who don't know, here are the rules:

FAWM - Februrary Album Writing Month

1. During the month of January I will collect song titles from you. You can respond here on the blog, on Facebook, or on Twitter.
2. I will pick my 14 favorites but I will not reveal which titles I chose until FAWM is over.
3. In February I will begin writing and recording rough demos of the songs I chose. 
4. On March 1st I will reveal which titles I chose and I will post a free download of the demos.

This year there are a couple of changes and a few incentives: 

1. I will post one or more themes each week, and you can submit song titles accordingly (love songs, break up songs, kid songs, etc.)
2. Everyone who submits a title will be entered in a drawing to win a free download of Everything We Say. 
3. Everyone whose song title is chosen will get a free download of Everything We Say.
4. If your song title is chosen to be one of the 14, you will be entered in a drawing to win physical copies of each: Everything We Say (2012), Coming Around (2009), and my Rain for Roots project & children's album, Big Stories for Little Ones (2012). 

Finally, please share this on Twitter, FB, Pinterest, and anywhere else your hear desires.
I would love for this to be the best FAWM yet.

Thank you so much for your involvement and enthusiasm over the years!

Flo

PS-Here is one of my favorite things (besides last year's album) that came out of FAWM - My first music video featuring FAWM song, "My Love is a Winding Street."
