I wrote 33 “songs”/poems in 1988. Most of them were extremely derivative of the Christian music I listened to at the time, sometimes borrowing entire lines or even entire choruses. Still, it was my highest annual output by far, more than all previous years combined. Through October I was on track to have at least one composition in every month which would have been a first. It was certainly the first time I wrote poems on multiple consecutive days and the first year in which I wrote a song that was performed in public (In Place Of Me).
