2020 is my 9th FAWM, and I have done the 50/90 8 times. Have made it past 14 the last 2 years. I hope to write a few short songs, maybe that is cheating a bit but I like having some short songs for gigging, a musical equivalent of one-liners, to throw into the mix.
I write some comedy songs, some just whatever songs (most usually have a "gentle humour"), sometimes a kids' song and maybe some short instrumentals and sketches. I like writing songs about everyday things.
Some songs are recording-only songs that I couldn't possibly do live but I also try to get some "keepers" for live gigs (where I perform mostly in the context of comedy nights with "original comedy singalong songs" or my favourite gigs - with friends round a campfire) ...
I have no idea what will come out of this month and I'm looking forward to some games, skirmishes and challenges.
Most of all I just like being part of it.

Hiya Wobbie! Here we are again... Uncle Rick wants to know what sort of music he should be practising this year; he's been somewhat diverted by a bucketload of software synths over the last few months, but the Chapman Stick has been dusted off and tuned!

Oh yeah, I'd love to do a collab this year!
I seem to recall that you asked for a collaboration a few years ago and it came to nothing. That was totally my fault, sorry. 😞 -
