Hi all,
Shameless self-promotion, been meaning to write something up to encourage others to get involved with FAWM, so I just published my first Medium.com article as looprication:

Feedback welcome!
Cheers,

EDIT: Thanks so much @bithprod for the tiny url! -
@mikeb Mar 2022
Your link doesn't work, might want to try a short link with bit.ly or tinyURL.
You wrote 150 songs? You've got 17 on your page, where are the rest? -

@bithprod Mar 2022
The article is worth reading, by the way. Well written, @looprication!
-
@johncrossman Mar 2022
Great tips summarized there!
@mikeb - cumulatively over multiple Febs, but I suppose it makes for a more eye and mouse catching headline. -
@dragondreams Mar 2022
@looprication - excellent article that captures the whole magic of FAWM!
-
@fuzzy Mar 2022
Yes, excellent article!

@dzdandcunfsd Mar 2022
I'd say you nailed it!

@psyt Mar 2022

@burrsettles Mar 2022

"Say goodbye to your loved ones" My wife will attest to that.

@odilongreen Mar 2022
Nice article! It's nice to have a ready reference next year when people ask me what the heck I'm spending my whole February doing! :)
-
@looprication Mar 2022
Wow thanks all! @bithprod thanks so much for posting a working link! (D’OH!). And @burrsettles Blades is worth tracking down, would still love to talk modular any time!

@esc4p3 Mar 2022
My first FAWM, but agree this is spot on :-)
-
@katestantonsings Mar 2022
Nice article @looprication! I really enjoyed the quote you included by Frank Zappa. Well done!
-
@gm7 Mar 2022
yes..spot on!

@splittybooms Mar 2022
Oh nice, dude! Great write, too.
Really feel this is a great explanation of what this is all about and would def draw in someone who was curious! Goes into the community aspect of it and the atmosphere round' here, too. -
@prsongsmith Mar 2022
Great piece! THanks for sharing it! @looprication! I literally laughed out loud at "...a virtual Coachella or Burning Man, sans the sweat and the stank..." :-)
-
@sherrylynnlee Mar 2022
Great piece @looprication ! I followed you on medium. You inspired me to write one as well, on my experience as a fawmling. I can't wait for next year :)

@katestantonsings Mar 2022
@sherrylynnlee an inspiring read!! You absolutely nailed it on overthinking. Accountability through the FAWM community is helpful, isn’t it? You’re very perceptive—thank you for sharing!
-
@ductapeguy Mar 2022
Wonderful
-
@sheilerk Mar 2022
A great article. Thanks for the link! You really told it like it is! As far as the sweat and the stank... well, given @Dragondreams post in the Fawm 2023 Challenges forum, it may not be sans the stank for everyone ;) But, yes, like Coachella or Burning Man in a lot of ways. But, really there's no where else like it. It's wonderfully unique!
-
@audrey Mar 2022
Great article @looprication
-
@spingo Mar 2022
I enjoyed that!
-
@downburst Mar 2022
I enjoyed both of these enormously. Is there a, like, songwriting community on Medium? I dip in and out there now and then but have never really settled in.
-
@dragondreams Mar 2022
@sherrylynnlee - Just finished reading your article, and I was nodding at all the points you covered. And now I'm going to go and take a listen to the music behind the written word. ;-)
-
@looprication Mar 2022
Hey thanks all! And @sherrylynnlee - great job of describing your experience, super eloquent. Particularly liked the way you covered a lot of ground succinctly by associating your FAWM demos with songwriting tactics. And while I know by definition (and description) that your FAWM was in many ways significantly different than mine (as is everyone's), it was so parallel in so many ways that I couldn't focus on the differences, if that makes sense? (and I followed you back, thanks!)
And @downburst , there's a FAWM tag and a Songwriting tag on Medium (I think I used both on mine), I'd encourage anyone who has the urge to follow in @sherrylynnlee 's footsteps and craft a post about your experience. -
@audrey Mar 2022
@sherrylynnlee I read your article and really enjoyed it. I like how you take the reader through your own FAWM experience and how you exceeded your "bucket list" for FAWM this year. I'm sure the article will be very motivating to your readers and may even cultivate some fawmlings for next year. :)
-
@nateger Mar 2022
Great article! Love your perspective and it summed up my experience of fawm nicely :)
-
@sherrylynnlee Mar 2022
thank you for reading @looprication @audrey @dragondreams @nateger @downburst @spingo @sheilerk @katestantonsings @ductapeguy . Please post a link to your blogs if you write them, I'd love to read!
-
@burrsettles Mar 2022
that's great to see, thank you @sherrylynnlee !
-
@beacon Mar 2022
@sherrylynnlee I'll +1 everyone else's comments in that your article is so well written, and one of the best things is that it makes me want to hear your music. Off to do that shortly!
