Coming Attractions!

Hey Everyone,

  Hope all is well with everyone reading. I’m just writing to let you all know new writing will be coming this week on both Associated Content and Suite 101. The past week wasn’t very productive for me as I was a bit under the weather all week long. I apologize for the gap in published work, but things will pick up this week. I will be writing some health articles for AC and a few beauty and fashion peices for Suite 101.

    Textbroker is working out fairly well so far, for a ghostwriting website it isn’t too bad. The articles don’t take long to research or write. Although the pay per article isn’t very high these facts give me the ability to do more in one session. That’s all for now. Stay well friends. Thank you for reading.

Hope

Hello Everybody,

     Hope all is well for everybody in internet land! Things are looking up here as I have found more work. I have very recently been accepted at Suite 101 and I’m testing out a new site textbroker.com. Both seem very promising, but I will cotinue with Associated Content regardless of the results yeilded by these two sites.

     My husband is still looking for work(to bring in extra money and the health insurance) and managing many of the household tasks. I wish I could help more with them but they are things that my disability prevents me from being able to do. The writing is my way of contributing to the household because I would find it inexcusble to sit on my butt while he does all that he does for us.  Its a standing agreement in our marriage that both of us most contribute positively to our life together and that and our marriage come first.  If others don’t like that then they need not be around and if they grow to a point of interfering with our abilities to do that they will no longer be welcome.

   The new jobs will require a lot more work and will have shorter deadlines. As with AC, I don’t work I don’t get paid. If I don’t meet a deadline I don’t get paid or I could be fired or both. Meaning we will both be even more busy than ever but it will be well worth it finanacally as the basics of life are changing in price all the time. Living on such a limited income is rough and we have always known things would be an uphill battle for us but people who make things harder by interfering or being too demanding of our time only make things worse.(Explaining the rant above..sorry about that) Every penny that comes into this house is needed to eat, clean the house, and pay bills. That is why your reading my work is so appreciated. Thank you so much everyone. Every last one of you helps more than you will ever know. God Bless. Read on.

Hello All

Hello all,

     Hope everyone is doing well, especially those in other parts of the midwest dealing with the difficult weather and flooding. This summer has been difficult for many people across the US; weather wise and economically. I’ve recently written a few articles that may help readers save money and protect investments.

     Mainly those of big expensive leather furniture items and ways to decorate a home and make it more ecologically and financailly effienct. Please feel free to have a look. Thanks for reading all, I know I haven’t written in months but I’ll be back more steadily starting this month.  I hope you’re all well. Thank you for reading. Take Care.

Afternoon All:)

Hey Everybody,

   I’m sorry to not have written in a long time. My family member is recovering from a vital surgery that took place a few weeks ago. Thank God for that. I know I haven’t written much on AC for over a month now. I wanted to remain completely available for my family until she was well on the way to recovery.  I will be resuming my normal work habits this week. I’d absolutely love to have broadband and my line open for all family and friends(both mine and my husband’s) all the time but it is not financially possible right now and may never be until we are able to move  to a new buliding (which isn’t going to happen anytime soon either). Keeping the bills paid and food on the table are mutually holding priority one right now. I’ve been doing most of my job hunting, for better jobs writing very late at night into the early hours of the next day.

  I have found Helium Marketplace which I have had a bit of luck with lately. This DOES NOT mean I won’t be writing for Associated Content anymore but my stuff on AC may become less frequent. I enjoy AC but it doesn’t pay enough to help pay the ever growing bills the are ouccuring due to much higher fuel prices which drives up the prices of just about everything else. I will work on the articles I’ve mentioned in other posts as soon as some of the other work for which there are deadlines and MUCH higher pay than AC. Those will have to come first so I can help better the difficult situation so many are in including us. Thank you so much everyone for reading, kind words, and thoughts and prayers. They are very deeply appreiciated. God Bless.

Sincerely,

Jennifer

More new stuff on the way!

Hey All,

  Immediately following this blog post I will begin work on the first of five new articles I’ll be submitting to AC. The first will be an article with advice for mixed ability couples, that is couples where one partner is disabled and the other is not disabled. My husband and I have been together for just over 6 years and married a 1 1/2 of that time. He is able-bodied and I have cerebral palsy. We’ve learned a lot about how to be happy despite a lot of obstacles in that time. With his full support, I plan to share a few keys of that happiness with readers.

Other articles heading for AC’s queue are articles on what not to do if your loved one marries someone from another country and what not to do if a love one marries someone with a disability. All of these will be based on personal experience. (My husband Sam is from England)

Another things planned include general advice for brides, more reviews, and  some articles on various cultures. The first of these will be a piece about Danish culture, something unusual and an interesting topic I have enjoyed researching. I am of Danish descent(I’m only a 3rd generation American) and enjoy genealogy and history so this article series should be fun!

Please be patient everyone, remember that just because something doesn’t appear right away on the site, this doesn’t mean it is not complete. Many of my articles are for upfront payment, meaning I submit an article after researching it for however long needed, then write, which is often the shortest part of writing, then place it in th AC queue for consideration for a payment before publishing.

The entire process from submitting a piece to it being published can take up to two weeks. Sometime around the articles’ publication,usually a few days after or before is when writers are paid.

     So if something has a publication date of March 1st, it most likely in my case will have been written at least several days before the publication date, if not a week or two. The only things published immediately are those which I(or any other AC Content Producer) publishes for royalties only. These things include such things as poetry and recipes and those few articles( in my case) that AC rejects for upfront payment.

Hope all is well with everyone and I look forward to the next post. Happy Easter Everyone! Please feel free to share my link with anyone who you think may be interested. Thanks for reading everyone.

Best Wishes to All,

Jennifer

I’m hunting work

Hey everybody,

    Writing to let you all know I’m still hard at work on that stuff for Associated Content. I’m also biding my time to get started with a few pay per blog entry websites(most of them require that the blog in question be at least 90 days old.)The reviews are coming with or without an upfront offer. I’ve done 3 PV only articles in the last month to help boost lagging pageviews, one more; the poker night recipes will be up soon. An unusal C4C but I’ll enjoy it since I like cooking.

  I’d like to thank the Barefoot and all his guest contributors for his blog chalk full of AC tips. I’m applying them to recent writing as best as I can. Thank you All very much.

Back to work I go writing and looking for other opportunities in addition to AC.

Thanks again for reading all.

New poem on AC

Hello All,

  A quick early morning note to let everyone know I have a second reveiw in the que at AC waiting for review, hopefully I’ll get a little something for each that are in there at the moment, but if not I’ll place them up for pageviews, can’t let them go to waste. Both of them good reads if you want to watch your wallet.

   I have placed an Irishesque poem of mine up for viewing, it is about 10 years old but is  still enjoyable if you like poetry. A nice read for St. Patrick’s Day. More reviews will be wrtten and submitted soon,I’m getting as much done as I can without letting my health fall by the wayside. My health has been something that has never been an issue outside the CP for me before and I’m just learning to adjust to apparent changes with the disability and its effect on me as I “age” as the doctors have put it in recent years. Can ya tell I don’t like the thought of the approaching 3-0? lol Yes, I know I’m only twenty-nine but my joints have thought they were 60,65 for a while now. The great thing is most of the effects haven’t been too bad until the last year or so. Thank God, I’ve known so many people with so many larger problems than this, I’ve been incredibly blessed.

Anyhow, have a good one folks. Read, learn, Enjoy.

Thanks for stoppin’ in!:)

I need another computer,lol

Hello Friends, readers,and everyone else,

  Sorry I haven’t updated in a few days but work has to come first. I have placed a new Easter Dinner Menu on AC. It has a few recipes I make for Easter that are always a hit. It is basically my roast chicken dinner recipe. I often make it for my husband on special occasions and I hope you all enjoy if you give it a try for whatever reason.

  I am currently working on over one dozen reviews for Associated Content and plan to add about a half dozen health and wellness articles to that list. I will be adding something more small and brief for St. Patick’s Day than originally planned, because I have gotten a huge assignment from a foreign tourism site today and a few things will have to wait because I only have about a week to complete it. Ah..the good old deadline-can’t be a writer without them.

At the same time(this will explain the title) my husband has to apply for work using this computer so it will be tricky but we’ll get it all done somehow. Hopefully I can not only someday help provide us with a living but get myself a laptop computer, that way no matter what I can write, even if I can’t be up and about and post things I can still prepare them. 

  No matter what I am determined to succeed at this work I do, because through AC and other places on the net. I have found the best way to make my contribution a better life for Sam and I at the moment.  More importantly, people seem to find what I’m writing useful and entertaining.   That’s my goal for now, it is hard to think of the future with so much work to do, and my getting old at least by standards of my peers.

  Anyhow, I have to get to work. Thanks for reading all.

The nocturnal one awakens…again

Hey All,

     I hope everyone had a good day today. My day was spent looking(uneventfully) for other freelance writing jobs. I suppose I shouldn’t say uneventfully I did find a few but the instructions were very vague in the requests. This is something that would be fine if there weren’t deadlines as short as a day in one case and two in the other and despite my contacting the potential client for further instructions;receiving none.

   If they had each been for more money(more than a few dollars as they were offering) for the work they wanted done I’d have done them and posted them ASAP. Unfortunately, the sinus troubles I was having earlier this week are still lurking about and my medicine is making me very drowsy.

  I will be up working on some things for AC and promoting this blog and looking for other opportunities to use this space o’ mine to bring in some income for my husband and myself. I have applied to Blogitive and hope to hear from them soon. It may sound strange but I enjoy writing product reviews and helping other consumers. Money is never to be wasted, especially in times like this day and age.

  I have had a new piece published on AC, the one about birthday party games. Hopefully, you’ll find it refreshing and a change from the highly technical stuff we all have these days. There’s nothing wrong with technology today, in fact I find it fantastic but I think there is absolutely no harm in interacting with people and not have some flashing beeping machine to facilitate it occasionally.

This is something I think younger people and children today are missing out on. In fact, it kind of worries me..in 30 years will everyone type with thier thumbs and not know how to interact without machines? Know how to use a dictionary? What happens if one day it all goes kaput for a while? Will people not work for days? Just something to think about. I feel it is good to know how to be both low and hi tech.  I do not think all the emoticons in the world can replace genuine human kindness, decency, class, and manners! I’m big on those by the way, think I’m too uptight? That’s fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion. In fact you’re more than welcome to leave an opposing remark. Thanks for reading all. Take Care.

Read on people. Click the link, you know you want to……;)

Good Morning!:)

Hello everybody,

  I hope everyone had a nice rest last night and is ready for a new day. I wrote a post last night and I am wondering how it got erased. I’m not quite sure how that happened but it is probably due to something I did accidentally while fiddling with the site. Sorry about that,I’m still getting use to blogging.

  A few new things will be up on AC this week. A piece on St. Patrick’s Day, another on birthday party games, reviews, recipes and advice for new brides will be coming soon. As spring arrives I’ll be writing more. Winter tends to hamper what and when I write, because I’m often literally stuck in one spot.

Michigan winters make it hard for me to get out and about which can often slow down the writing but that will soon change. I find spring inspiring and downright beautiful. I can’t wait to get started, have a good day everybody.
