Milestones 12/12/10: Reaching Clout 6 & 100 Contributions

Canopy of My Heart Series

J.E. Ward
Within the last 24 hours, I've learned how much the writers on Associated Content from Yahoo! really do care about each other. I was the object of that care yesterday when I sent out a call for help to get to Clout 6. I sent messages to most of my fans that I wanted them to help me get 84 (it should have been74) page views by the next day.

Hubby and I went to a Christmas party. When I got back later I was overwhelmed with the response to my call for help. This morning when I checked page views, I had reached my goal of 10,000 and then some. 10,236 to be exact. I could not have reached it without each one who read, Facebook-ed, Retweeted and commented on my articles.

This poem will also be the 100th piece that I've written since I've been a web writer here at Associated Content from Yahoo!. That is another cause of celebration. I'm the prodigal daughter who started on AC almost two years ago and then stopped for a year. Suffice it to say I'm glad to be back.

Now I set my sights on Clout 7! And being there for those who are there for me, plus anyone else on AC whom I can help.

Milestones 12/12/10
Today is a special day for me
It's the day I reached Clout 6 on AC
Now I know AC is where I want to be
The people here are like family

My fans on AC came to my rescue
When I asked them they came through
They each gave me at least one page view
Showed me their friendship was true

So allow me to say THANK YOU in this goofy verse
You are the best people in the universe
Being on AC has more better than worse
It is a blessing and not a curse

This silly poem is a very important rhyme
It signifies for me the one -hundredth time
That I've published on AC the fruits of its kind
A poem, a picture, a story, an article of mine

Looking forward to writing much more
Got some creative good things in store
Planning to walk through every open door
While loving AC and becoming less poor

A Twenty Second Prayer of Thanksgiving-
You Are
One Glimpse

Writing has been my passion since I was six when I published my first picture book. In fifth grade, I wrote a play about my class, and my best friend showed it to everybody when I told her not to. My best fr...  View profile
