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

New articles up on the “new” AC

Hello All,

 Happy Tuesday everyone. Two new articles of mine have been published on Associated Content. Both of them are reviews, read if you are into saving money.

Associated Content has undergone changes literally overnight and without warning to content producers like myself. As of yet I am not very pleased with this new design because it causes our articles are condensed, For example, the copy for two page articles is moved onto one page, etc. This reduces our performance payments(the month royalty payment sent every month for the previous month’s page views). The design itself is a bit cluttered and will take some getting use to, at the least.

I’m not sure what changes are coming to AC in addition to the ones made in the last few months if they become completely unbeneficial to me financially,I will have no choice but to leave Although I enjoy it, my main reason for writing for AC is to supplement an already very meager income, not for fun. My husband and I and our financial needs have to come first. I will move on to other sites if need be but I’m willing to stick it out with AC for a while. How long is anybody’s guess, I just wish that AC had sent out notices to its producers BEFORE the change was going to occur and would actually listen to some of the suggestions made by its writers. Thanks for reading.

Til next time all,

Jennifer

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!:)

Jennifer
