My 50/90 Progress So Far – The First 7 Days
FAWM’s “50 songs in 90 days” challenge started on July 4th and ends on October 1st. It has been running for one week.
I joined up with the view of putting my theories and experiences to the test. I liken it to Songwriting Zen in the real world however, rising up to the challenge has been harder than what I thought.
I’ve only posted one song so far, a love song called “I Don’t Want To Let You Go” but since then I’ve found it a real challenge to come up with something else.
Over the last couple of days I’ve been going through my main songbook. In this book there are many old songs that aren’t finished or need re-writing.
Even so, I’ve found it very, very hard to finish them off. This is the case for three main reasons:
1. My view on these old songs have been set in concrete.
2. My inner critic has been working overtime
3. I’ve been paralysed by trying to choose between too many songwriting ideas.
By doing this challenge I’ve realised that I have a very similar problem to most songwriters out there.
Finishing off my half written songs.
Thankfully I have other ideas I can work on. Some are on cassette tape and some are on pieces of paper and other notebooks somewhere. I’ll leave the songbook and go onto something else.
I’ll keep you posted on my progress however, in the meantime have a listen to “I Don’t Want To Let You Go” and enjoy.
Until next time, happy writing,
