FAWM, year seven??? They say time flies, but DAMN.
Yes, I am FINALLY PUTTING OUT AN ALBUM! This year! In October! And actually recording with FAWM’s very own Eric and Jen Distad in June (aided by a few other delightful FAWMers/filkers). Keeping that in mind, I’m hoping it’ll be a productive month, but I’m trying to go easy on myself, ongoing global pandemic and all.
Happy to be here. Excited to be back. Let’s do this. <3

Thanks for the kind words, Lauren, and sorry for taking so long. It's been a heck of a week. Part of me likes the impermanence of FAWM, but you're probably right, I should find a better home for my FAWM stuff. Maybe this is the year I finally sift through the pile and record the better ones properly. Looking forward to more from you!

You're too nice. XP But thank you. *hug* Hoping to get more recordings up for the other ones that are posted. I wanna get as many recordings this year as possible, even if I don't make 14 songs.

Color me stoked about your upcoming album as well. I men, just the other day I was thinking, "You know what I need in my life? An album by ReaderWriterPoet, that's what."
