Why I like Associated Content

I like Associated Content, sometimes, I think I love Associated Content, however, I am not 100% sure of this. I definitely am absolutely certain that I like Associated Content, and, hopefully, if you are reading this, you like Associated Content, too.

This place is sort of a nice place for us data-entry typists, sweatshop workers, pre-writers and other writing specialists to meet with other people who are in this line of work. Not to be overtly self-contemptuous, however, there are people here who can genuinely claim to be writers, which is great. After having spent about nine years doing little more than reading other people's work, I am ready to try to join in on the marvelous chaos of the literary field, which supposedly attempts to follow the laws of the most part. Well, at least this portal called Associated Content does.

There are a variety of topics here that a person is able to write about. Some of these can be drawn from experience here, others are based on research, however, most articles, even if based on personal experience, require a bit of experience to actually turn into something professional. Associated Content offers a person a chance to learn from people who could be peers, or who could be mentors, or who might even be protegees, without always actually knowing who is who or what.

This is part of the fun and frolic of the Internet as well as of Associated Content itself. It's the full moon out tonite, and I feel completely drained of all emotion, as nuts as that sounds. There is so much emotional chaos going on inside of me that I feel nothing at all whatsoever, except completely at home as part of the Associated Content people pool.

This is a hobby, it's not exactly a job, however, Associated Content is a place to post work that might otherwise have zero viewers in its unretouched form. Everybody has different reasons for initially posting things, however, this was mine. It's not my only reason for being at Associated Content anymore.

Then, I discovered what I really needed about writing, a way of being reimbursed for expenses, which is great, as everybody has expenses, hey, even cats and dogs have expenses, and I have recently seen a poster offering a party with a $5 admission fee for cats and dogs somewhere around here, and most of the neighbors can get to this party within 3 hours of travel time, without spending a dime on transportation. I really enjoyed being able to purchase a few bottles of household cleansers to use during a product review party when my household all packs up and goes to a "Dancing with the Stars" post-Olympics party. Maybe I'll even get to read an article about it, too, on Associated Content, somewhere. However, I'm not going to either the "cats and dogs" party or to the "Dancing with the Stars" party being held sometime after the full moon. I'm going to be having a lot of fun playing with my new partner in life, Associated Content. Some people have video gaming tournaments, other people have circuses, I have Associated Content. I'm a content little bee in a large beehive here at this collaborative.

Cleaning house is another reason for joining Associated Content, and it is good to know what is going on around the world without having to be as dull and dry as an Associated Press news feed, which is what this portal is all about. Cleaning house, you might be asking, how could reading articles on Associated Content and writing for the company, and being a writer's gadget be about "cleaning house"? If you have not ever been part of a writer's collective or a think-tank, you might need to do some research on this, and I'm not going to give you my subjective description of what happened to me, as a lot of writers stationed in third-world nations went though similar things, and you don't read about their stories in the press, just about what they learned about while being stationed wherever these people went to.

You won't "clean up" as a writer on Associated Content, however, you will gain valuable experience as a pre-writer towards being an actual writing coach or writer, whichever way you decide to go. Associated Content is a place to learn about work and play from. I like Associated Content.
