Influences: All y’all <3
Hi, I’m Robyn (she/her) and this is my 13th year of FAWMing. Holy crap.
Sometimes I write angsty indie ballads. Sometimes I write ukulele jingles about snot. Until 2018, I worked with the beautiful artists over at @vsaredfish,and had 5 wonderful FAWMs with them. You can still check out the music we made together at https://soundcloud.com/vsa-red-fish-studios
On collaborations: I'm not sure how much time I am going to have to FAWM this year as I am no longer working from home and I'm working on several projects at once, including a few collabs I haven't finished yet. Feel free to ask, just know I may not be able to finish within the month.
Happy FAWMing, y'all!

Thanks so much for checking out my tracks and commenting so kindly!!
I'm a fan of yours. Funny you read my most 'out there' lyric tonight. Not my favorite but fit the prompt and was fun to write. I can't imagine this as a song, but then again "I'm Sexy and I Know it" -lol
Hooray. 14 songs. Congrats.
You know I’m senile, right?
Hey friend-o! Did ya see my email?
Do dragons fly or only dragonflies ? ;-)
Hiya thanks for your comment on Hey Stewie , good point about the conversational aspect of it.
Thanks for the comments. Sorry, it took so long.
Yes since I joined in 2014 our region has been totally open and welcoming to people who live elsewhere or are members of other regions on the main website to join in the chat fun and online activities. Reason I keep going back is they also are totally supportive of me doing NaNo as a rebel songwriter. I will email you an invite!
Our Nano SWFL region has had a Discord channel for a few years if you are interested. The Last two years the virtual write-ins have mostly been happening on the Discord.
YW. There are lots of channels but not a whole lot of activity there that I have seen. I also am on a Discord for NaNoWriMo and NaSoAlMo. Intermittent activity.
Hey Robyn I wrote a track ( actually it’s a pre-track- more of a lyric…) as a response to your powerful ‘fuck your money’ dint feel obliged to check it out but I wanted you n your collaborators to know tgat it was an inspiration . Only sing so far going round in my head
Thanks a lot fir your cement on "Fit right in". I'm looking forward to turn it in a full production.
Hi Robyn, thanks for your lovely comments on Oranges in a Blue Bowl. I look forward to listening to your work.
Thanks for listening to Echo Echo! I feel like I hadn't been writing songs with choruses up to this point and zagged with this one. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and write me about it
Thanks for coming to check out "Thinkabout", I think that's my favorite verse as well!
Thanks for the comment on "Cloaked in the Fairest Melody"! That juxtaposition of grit and eloquence is basically what I've based my entire career, such as it is, as a death/doom metal musician and songwriter on, inspired by the early 90s output of the British big three: Anathema, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost. In the FAWM context, I don't seem to do songs such as this one that often, perhaps mostly due to how long they tend to get and conversely how long they take to write and record.
Hey, Robyn! Thanks for commenting on Karma's Gonna Getch'ya. Glad you like it.
Collabing would be very fun!
Thanks Robyn. I don’t play my banjo very much anymore. It is a heavy instrument and managing it seems to offer my back some pain. So short songs will be the banjo norm for me.
Great job on cool cool ways. I hope you liked the mix.
Someone wondered what the time signature of the song was?.. I said I don't know. I answered " maybe 8/weird! ' lol
Thank you for your comments on my song All for the Love of You. As a fan of your music, it is especially meaningful.
A cheatypants! I withdraw anything nice I might have written then ;)
(This is coming from someone that has yet to upload a skirmish in anything close to an hour because of the stupid recording choices he made and stubbornly refuses to change).
Thank you so much for sending the file! I emailed you a question as well, just for whenever you get a chance.
Glad you liked my "Bob the Successful" :-)
Thx Robyn.....l'm stoked
The email on my profile page works. Thanks!!!
Thanks for listening Robyn. I really enjoyed Kahlo’s lyric, and I am glad to add music.
Thanks so much for your comment. You realize you compared me to Moby and REM??? I can’t comprehend the magnitude of that compliment. Thanks so much!
Thank you for your encouraging comment, Robyn! It means a lot coming from you!
Thank you for your kind words ️
Thank you so much for the kind words and recommendation! Much appreciated. Cheers.
Thank you for the lovely comment on my song!
Thanks so much for your generous comments!
Thanks so much for your comment and recommendation. Doesn't feel deserved but I greatly appreciate it. <3
Thx Robyn..it was a fun song to do...funk rules!
Thanks for the comments on The Witness Robyn! You did call it that I had that one in the bag!
Thanks for your kind comment! And it did feel like the muse handed me a gem - an unexpected gift.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being my first comment! Really appreciate the mention on the recommendation thread!
Thank you for the comment!
Thank you for your kind & insightful comment on “Stuck In My Throat.”
Good start for fawm #13 . The song has good good balance and durable rythmns. It works. Keep going
Much thanks for your kind words on my silly tune!
Thanks for your lovely comments on 'Intro' and also being my first comment this FAWM :)
You caught me on Children of Eden. I was in a local theater production of that years ago and realized after writing "Creation Myth" that it was similar to the intro of Let There Be. Oops :D
I would like to thank you so much for your wonderful comment!
I really liked your songs in previous 50//90s. Nice to see you. All the best with the writing.
Hope to get to listen to some shiny new tunes from you this FAWM. :3
It's Coachella's lineup this year :) LOL!!
Robyn! Can't wait to hear some new music.
Happy FAWMing!!!
Welcome back! Happy FAWMing!
Congrats on your song "Giraffe" on Out Loud show tomorrow.
What? Dozens of Knever Knudes signed up for FAWM?! :)
Hi Robyn! I am going to see how I might incorporate my wordle games into FAWM challenges! Looking forward to your music!
Hey Robyn, thanks for responding to my call for radio guests. Unfortunately due to the large response, I already have enough participants and don't think I have time to add in any more this time around, sorry (Which is sad, I would have loved to interview you - angsty indy ballads and ukelele jingles about snot is the kind of range I adore!). If some of the interviews fall through or the time I have available increases I will get in touch though!
Cheers, and Happy FAWM - I hope you have a great one,
Tabitha
Happy FAWM, Robyn!
Welcome back, Robyn!
Lucky 13th year!!! looking forward to a great Feb!
Happy FAWM 2022!
Your dogs are adorable, Robyn! Happy FAWM to you :) looking forward to hearing your music!
Happy fawming!
Hello! So glad you're here too! I just tried checking out that vsaredfish soundcloud link above, and it was giving me an error message, but as soon as that gets fixed -- not sure if the problem is on my end or soundcloud's -- I'll definitely be checking that out!
Checked out your bandcamp. I like your style :)
Have a creative FAWM!!
Hi Robyn! (You know me as Nyxie) Excited to see you here! I'm not working from home either, so the balance is going to be the thing to find (or not, lol). Looking forward to what you create this FAWM.
Wonderful to see you here again, Robyn! I look forward to hearing your awesome music. Happy FAWMing!
Likewise, dear Robyn! :-)
Have a great FAWM!
Welcome back to FAWM. Always a pleasure to listen to your stuff, can't wait to hear what you come up with.
Happy FAWM 2022!!
Hi Robyn, welcome back! (So serious in that bio pick, surely not at the thought of FAWM!)
No suspension email yet. Still good. Looking forward to hearing what you come up with.
Happy FAWMing, I look forward to hearing your new songs.
