Did a longer-than-usual blog entry today, for old times' sake.

Wanna be a rock and roll star

You've got a month.

That's how long you have to complete an album of 10 original songs or 35 minutes of original music, according to the RPM Challenge. Whip your band into shape and crank up the tunes. Better hurry, it's a short month and most decent stage explosives have a 10-day waiting period.

If you're not ready to record quite that quickly, hop over to February Album Writing Month and write the songs this year for next year's album challenge. And then in June you can write a screenplay about your whacky experiences for ScriptFrenzy, or wait till November to write a novel about it for NaNoWriMo.

The whole point of these insanely deadlined events is to get your creative juices boiling and spilling out over the sides. Stop thinking about doing something and do it! Don't worry about how good it is. No one else will be. Just do it, to prove to yourself you can do it after all.

More...

(Note: it gets a bit silly after this)

I love reading your articles. Even a bad day at work can't ruin it all for me.

I moved from a column to a blog format a while back, and haven't been writing the longer pieces. But you know, sometimes you get the urge...
