It did take time, and it wasn't easy but it was fun and definitely required a lot of thinking about what makes a good lyric. Starting early and reading them all each time there was a complete page posted helped. After submissions were closed, it was fairly easy for me to make the first pass of rereading to mark the top 10%. Then to go trhough that again and cut the number in half, and then again down to 12.

Staring at the top 12 for a few days on and off, I found the top three easier to identify - a lot harder to knock out the rest to select the last two. Not because the two I selected aren't the most deserving but because everyone of my top twelve seemed like a great lyric.

Anyway - looking forwarded to showcases in the next two weeks and results afterward.
