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.

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!:)

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.
