Don Pennington Interviews Associated Content Writers

15 Minutes of AC Fame

Cheryl Hedlund
Don Pennington has developed a smooth process for interviewing writers at Associated Content and made his niche by helping build our community.

Don Pennington serves the Associated Content (AC) community with his interviews of Content Producers (CP's). He gives writers a moment in the limelight and helps us get to know each other. I was pleased and excited when I received the invitation to be interviewed. It's my first writer profile.

Don Pennington asks some fun and thoughtful questions. I enjoyed pondering and remembering some good stories. I hope you enjoy the results. It was simple to fill out the form on the page he set up. I suggest that if you choose to do an interview for Don that you save your answers in a notepad file or a word processing document, just in case. Also proofread carefully. I edited a couple of answers and then didn't proofread them again. I am usually more careful. A couple of slightly embarrassing errors crept in. He warns at the top of the form that once you submit your interview that he cannot edit the answers. You may want to take your time and answer some questions and then take a break. I almost lost everything because toward the end I went to search for a quote. I got distracted and ended up closing the browser tab that had the form in it. Thankfully I had saved all my answers. If you want to learn more about me, the interview is here.

Don Pennington has featured most of the well-known AC favorites, like Michelle (Michy) L Devon and The Barefoot. He provides an opportunity to glimpse behind the avatar to the person whose articles you've enjoyed and passed along to friends. Don is not just interested in popular AC writers, though. Far from snobbish, he has interviewed a wide variety of CP's. You can get acquainted with members you may never have read before and find new favorites.

Don Pennington still finds the time to write his own articles on a variety of topics. They range from website reviews to the occasional political opinion editorial. You can see that he is interested in being helpful, entertaining, and sharing interesting or inspiring stories.

If you ever get a message from Don Pennington, don't hesitate to be interviewed. In fact, he would be pleased for any CP to fill out the form. The invitation and the link are here in this article. What a fun way to get to know others and participate in the AC community. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame in Associated Content. This is his contribution to building a community spirit. Thanks, Don, for helping Associated Content writers to network.
