#personal plea

[fayrobertsuk]

It's been a long year and it's only February…

Well, it's time to put this out there: I've had a fairly shitty few years (like, haven't we all, obviously), but it's included a long, expensive legal battle against unscrupulous cysts, which is finally concluded satisfactorily save being left somewhat skint on the other side of it. Doesn’t help that said battle meant that I had to move house - not exactly a low activity on the expense and stress scales…

So I'm looking for extra work, to help while we wait for the Luxury Space Communism to kick in (I'd settle for Universal Basic Income or an end to the Housing and Cost of Living Crisis, tbh).

Things I do to a professional standard include:

Creative Mentoring and Tutoring (writing and performance techniques, especially for poetry - bespoke or standard workshops available for groups as well as one-to-one).

Project Management (feeling overwhelmed by a project you want to get off the ground and/ or run within budget and timescale? I can help with that).

Business Change Management (you need to expand or shift your business focus? I can help that happen in a well-managed fashion).

Performance Poetry (got a bunch of poems, 18 years' experience delivering them live, and a nice voice).

Writing to Commission (especially poetry, but I write both fictive prose and essays too).

Voice Acting and Narration (I've acted in audio dramas and narrated short stories, training videos, and so far one documentary).

Book and Pamphlet Production (I operate a small press).

Basic website setup and maintenance.

Training on any of the above.

I have a sliding scale of rates depending on customer circumstances, and you can book me for a free initial consultation via my website: https://www.fayroberts.co.uk/crass-commercialism/services/

And if you fancy just sending me money because you're generous, I have a ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/fayroberts

Okay, Tumblr family, I need your help. I’m either dealing with coronary artery disease, or, more likely, a whacked out, overblown case of severe anxiety. Either way, I need your assistance.

The best thing I can do right now is distract myself until I know what the hell is going on.

Help a shaky, terrified fangirl out.

favorite/best Sherlolly, Labyrinth, Ten/Rose, Winter Soldier, Loki fanfics? The longer and more involved, the better.

please.

So, I don’t do streams or twitch very often, but this guy is hilarious and REALLY needs a new PC. (He also thinks I’m a guy. No one tell him otherwise because it’s hilarious.)

If you CAN afford it, please consider catching one of his streams and tossing some change in his tip jar.

For the bunnies. Or some shit.

Annual plea to tag your 9/11 posts

Once again, I will remind you that people are still dealing with the trauma of September 11th, myself being one of them. Images from 9/11 are the quintessential example of "triggers," and I, for one, do not need to be reminded of what happened that day.

I am begging you--begging you--please, for the love of God, tag your 9/11 posts. Use every imaginable variation you can think of. I do not want to see another picture of people falling from the Twin Towers for the rest of my life.

PLEASE.

MADISON, Wis |Walker says Wisconsin governor’s powers will remain strong

MADISON, Wis.— Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Tuesday that the powers of his Democratic replacement will remain among the strongest of any governor in the country, even if he signs bills fellow Republicans approved in a lame-duck legislative session.

The lengthy Facebook post , where Walker praised the measures without saying whether he will sign them, is the clearest signal yet that the…

A moment of your time

We don’t often talk about personal stuff on this blog but this is important.

If you read this series, you know that I use real places for my fictional characters. Fact and fiction often intertwine in my writing.

At the very beginning of TNGC, I wrote that Mr. and Mrs. Bennet moved to city of Santa Rosa. If you haven’t heard, Santa Rosa is dealing with a devastating fire and hundreds upon hundreds of homes have been lost. Whole neighborhoods have been completely wiped out. It’s horrific to see how much the city has lost already and it’s sadly not over yet.

This is auraispurple’s home town, our resident beta for The Learning Curve. Her parents have been EXTREMELY lucky because they still have their home. Just barely. They are literally a block away from the devastation. 

If you want to help out, you can. The North Bay Fire Relief has been set up so anybody can donate to the victims of the fire. Anything would be appreciated.

Thank you very much.
