Man ... I've made no progress on this. All I can write is choruses, but the verses aren't coming to me.

Lyrics for second song done, hoping to record it tonight. I'll have 2 songs in 4 days - then I'll be on pace. :-)

4 sets of lyrics written. Two for the Niveous album ("Sister" and "Hotel") and Two for the Zinkline album ("Lullabies" and "The Holy Commander"). So far, I'm digging the Zinkline album stuff more, but I have no idea how these two albums will come together.

I might be out of my rut. I've got one song written (but not recorded) with a couple more pretty awesome ideas. There might be a few instrumentals for my FAWM from what I'm seeing now.

6 songs written. I'm still leaning heavily towards writing for the Zinkline album. Four of the songs I've written go well together ("The Holy Commander", "Swamp Thing", "One Shot" and "Lullabies") all fit together like some sort of prog-rock concept album.

The Niv album isn't going as well. I like "Sister" but I don't know about "Hotel".

I only got 1 song recorded for the RPM challenge.
It’s freaking frustrating not being able to capture the sound you’re going for.
We’ll see how it goes.

Finished the lyrics for one of my RPM songs today. I used an old SF title that I had wanted to write for at the time but didn't get the chance - Gray Rainbow.

So that song I recorded last night disappeared ... the file name didn't disappear, but the song inside is gone. I went back and rerecorded what I remember of it.

How hard is it? Do you need someone to record a guitar track for you? Am I good enough?
