Hey songwriters check this songwriting challenge out.... http://www.fawm.org/
http://www.myspace.com/fawmrocks
"FAWM stands for February Album Writing Month. Each year, in the second month, songwriters worldwide gather at www.FAWM.org to challenge themselves and each other to write 14 songs in 28 short days. It ain't easy, but it's healthy and doable, even with a full-time job not related to music.
The project began in 2004 as a way for singer/songwriters Burr Settles and Matt Hopper (Kentucky and Alaska expatriates, respectively) to hold each other's fickle muses accountable to make music. In 2005 the project grew to over 100 participants from six countries.
Here’s some statistics from last year’s challenge from the FAWM site, “371 intrepid tunesmiths registered for the challenge, out of which 72 reached the 14-song goal, collectively penning 1,374 new musical works.â€
Fawmers are a motley mix of music professionals, students, nomads who bum guitars, homemakers, and folks who work day jobs but rock nightclubs. We range from age 15 to 65. Some of us write songs all the time, for some it's been 10 years. For all it is a great experience."

The last 4 years I Participated in FAWM and it has been a success for me. I've composed, sequenced, programmed, and recorded in a wide range of music styles.
Pass this along to any other musicians/songwriters you may know. Hey and if you sign up let me know, and we can check up on progress of each other.
start the writing...
Keep on rockin' from the soul; the vibrations of music and the universe evoke subtleties of the soul
Stay positive....continue writing great music for those that do....I send my positive energies to you all
~ Peace, Love, And Light... Jeff T. a.k.a. DJ Spitfire

What Hindu God or Goddess are you like?
Mother Sarawati is one goddess that you're like. Saraswati means "The essence of the self." This Goddess gives knowledge and the wisdom and strength to become what you want to reach. Many students or teachers may worship this goddess in belief to gain the power of reaching their goal. You want to reach your goal in life and you want the strengh to accomplish a high level of standards to be successful. So much like Saraswati, you may be deeply into music or art and that means you are most like her than the rest of the Goddesses

You scored as Buddhism.
Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism.
Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider
becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering.
(2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality
and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such
ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance
and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is
the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right
intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort,
right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are
usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist
faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In
Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha
taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.
