I've started a goal to write 50 songs. I don't have a period of time set for this, and I don't even know what it will mean when I've written 50 or what the next step after that is. I've just decided that if I'm serious about being good at sharing stories through songs the immediate step for me is to write as much as possible. So far I've written 4! So I'm definitely more than a stone's throw away from 50. Also, I'm including all styles of music in the 50 song requirement, with the exception that jams and other live works will only count if they're played often enough to have the potential to be performed. I'm really just making up these definitions as I go though so whatever there are no hard and fast rules. I just don't want to jam out 3 different ideas one day and have that count towards the 50, because that isn't what this is about. This is about trying pretty hard to write a lot of good material, and to make each song better than the previous one. We'll see how it goes.
