References + CANDIDA (slightly spoof title)

My rather messy begging bowl is for assistance: 

Mere subsistence for me, writing the long overdue two main books, the period of https://www.simonclayton2020.com/ and then subsequent not so wonderful 15 years from 2010. Which do however include what i still find an extraordinary gradual transition (after three years of 'grief') into a far more authentically engaged societal operator. True hurt and sorrow are a force for good in the longer run - truly evolve. 

As an 'offshoot' (connected to my 25 year cause of psychologically healthiest childhoods)   long i have planned to attempt to encourage a few others to work with me in a small loose 'collective' of sorts working on creative works on the environment. Not the 'nice' version - as it is far more under threat than many media outlets allow - especially for example the BBC so often sharing false hope 'good news' stories.

The project is initially outlined here.

On that project alone i have several compañeras.. - i hope 4 or 5 will be regular contributors.

They are all .sincere and committed to the principle that we really do have to rev the whole thing up so much more than at present. This is not a 'campaigning' group, but a group with one objective only in mind: to create good future content for the culture, and also champion any other operators in the space who may need assistance we may be able to provide. If nothing else moral suport and synergy.

The team... and my 'references' regarding this crowdfund attempt

Janie

(SEE NOTE BELOW ...bless err she's still under training..)

We have spent four  months since January pretty intensely  riffing upon the 'issues'... and the main one she laughs at it all being about being 'English' - she's a lass from the English Scots borders but like me spent a lot of  of her 20s and 30s working abroad -  Europe and further afield.. that said she's still a bit too serious hasnt TRULY 'let go' into now only writing her own true stories and observations. They are very similar to mine. And she knows that for her two sons there really does need to be pretty radical reset using FAR less, etc... 

Getting her to the point of she knows she must let it ALL out... the insider stories for the next generation to learn from, has been my own almost full time job three months but it has worked...  she is ready to do what she too knows we must - inspire and guide the next generation by REAL culture - irreverent but brutally serious, too. And she needs a a husband...  I'll sell her.. problem is, unlike all the (eco and mind/body/soul fakes ) she is the REAL thing...and thus priceless.

 Yasmin (heidi - she had a childhood partly as Heidi in the Italian alps farming goats at 4,000 feet.)

Very creative in fact an established artist but her heart and passion is in somehow creating art that may have social change at its heart. She isn't a softie...and we do get rather fruity in our language.

We have been debating and lamenting worldwide eco disaster for three years
