"You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." — Jack London

Sometimes you need external factors that force you to be creative. Maybe for you one such factor could be February Album Writing Month, which starts again February 1st. The goal is to produce 14 songs in 28 days. The focus is less on having a produced album, but rather to create new song material.

There's more information in the FAQ. In addition to that, starting February 1st there'll be a songwriting impulse every day posted on twitter.

I don't think I will be able to take part this year, but maybe it's something for you?
