On Becoming an Associated Content Top 1000 Producer

Words cannot express the excitement I felt when my fellow Content Producer Shirlene Alusa Brownshot me an email with the above news. It is truly a special moment to be a Writer and be recognized for my work. I write for the passion of stringing words together into a coherent story that makes a strong case. It is a skill that I use as a promotional marketer and in so many other facets of my life. So, if one asks me why I write - I'd simply respond that "I Love It!"

Funny, in the recent weeks, during the writers' strike and watching their effect on entire industries, I was reminded of how truly hard it is to find a wonderful scribe..... Someone who can take a pen and wield it with the command as a soldier would a sword. And when I think of the moments when my Mom and Dad insisted that I edit and re-edit, I now know why I have chosen this tagline "Because The Pen Is Still Mightier than the Sword," for my enterprise. So today and everyday, I congratulate all of the winners and scribes here on Associated Content and beyond. To each and every one of you I say, "Keep doing the Write Thing."

My arrival on Associated Content,began as my attempt at therapy, because of a general sense of malaise with the state of mainstream media,and a need to vent about the direction of the economy. I had grown tired of the same 'ole information being repeated day in and day out by the same pundits and wanted to find and perhaps introduce a fresh perspective about the world around me. I also came to AC looking for a way to remember my Father who was an avid writer and someone I had recently lost in October of 2006 (four days before my birthday). From AC, I was also searching for a way to turn my words into a renewed passion for living.

What I have found in this past year at AC is more than I expected and just what I needed! I have found an audience to listen to my ramblings, interviewed a number of celebrities ( bringing me back into my early writing career) and gotten some TREMENDOUS business opportunities. Most importantly however, I have made friends that I truly treasure and know that they would not have entered into my Life without AC.
