These challenges generally involve a simple criterion, either musically, lyrically, or thematically.

Plus, it's fun to see how other fawmers people have interpreted the same criteria differently. text/html 2012-02-29T05:53:55-05:00 http://fawm.org/wiki/songskirmish?rev=1330516435&do=diff Upcoming Events To be announced...by whoever wants to host them. :-) We will probably have another Superskirmish on Sunday Feb 26, 12AM GMT (as on the 12th). #DateUTC/GMTNew YorkWhereHosted by Whose Title1Wednesday Feb 1 12AM EST Forum Thread debs debs 2Wednesday Feb 1 8PM EST Forum Thread plainwhitetoast tcelliott 3Friday Feb 38pm2pm CSTForum Thread nadia nadia 4Saturday Feb 4 7PM EST Forum Thread plainwhitetoast morti 5Sunday Feb 5 3PM EST Forum Thread corinnecurcio ?? 6Wednesday Feb 8 8… text/html 2010-02-21T15:02:13-05:00 http://fawm.org/wiki/songwriting_resources?rev=1266786133&do=diff Over the course of February, we'll be posting daily songwriting hints and ideas on Twitter: <http://twitter.com/fawm> Other Songwriting Challenges 50 Songs 90 Days (50/90) Challenge - write 50 songs in the 90 days from July 4 to October 1.
