Go ahead … what’s stop­ping you? That’s the tag-line of The RPM Chal­lenge; a one month, one album chal­lenge in the vein of NaNoW­riMo. This takes place in Feb­ru­ary so you have a lit­tle over two weeks to get your mojo going.
This is the chal­lenge: record an album in 28 days, just because you can.

That’s 10 songs or 35 min­utes of orig­i­nal mate­r­ial recorded dur­ing the month of Feb­ru­ary. Go ahead… put it to tape.

Don’t wait for inspi­ra­tion — tak­ing action puts you in a posi­tion to get inspired. You’ll stum­ble across ideas you would have never come up with oth­er­wise, and maybe only because you were try­ing to meet a day’s quota of (song)writing. Show up and get some­thing done, and invest in your­self and each other.

Any­one can come up with an excuse to say “no,” so don’t!
