The number of requests to do (even more) work for free I've received lately are downright RIDICULOUS. 
This is EXACTLY me when somebody asks me to do even more work for free:
Me, again:
I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what I do on my blog and with my tweets on academic writing and life. I am able to write my blog and offer guidance for free BECAUSE I already have a permanent (well paid) job as a professor. So it's not really, "free free".
I've also realized that the more visibly accesible you make yourself, the more (unreasonable) demands people place on your time and resources.
I don't like being taken for granted, and a few requests I've received lately make me think that people misunderstand what I do.
