February Album Writing Month (FAWM) is an online community challenging musicians to write and record 14 songs in 28 days.
Because I find this extreme time limitation fruitful for creative focus, I also choose a lyrical album theme to strictly follow for each year's songs.
My first attempt at February Album Writing Month was a love letter to my neighborhood of Ballard because I knew I'd be leaving soon for New York after two decades in Seattle.
