Follow the Leader

Consider this as a group writing project by introduce your new friends to the community.

Many months ago, I wrote "The Quiet Writers at Triond" as a tribute to these wonderful writers who have supported me, and also to a wide range of others selflessly.

In reading "Jump on My Triond Band Wagon" by Glynis Smy, I thought it would be nice to write a tribute to the writers that I have recommended for the wagon ride. Glynis' idea is to expose as many new writers to our Triond's community as possible. It is an excellent idea, is it not?

Here is my idea: if you have nominated your new friends for the wagon ride, write about them, and bring them out for the rest of the community to meet them.

Why you should do it:

• Pay it forward! Someone else will do the same for you.
• Be a true friend by supporting them
• We are not in competition with each other
• We all want views for our work
• We all want recognition
• We all want to meet new friends

Meet Terri Lane

Terri has been on Triond for a while, and she has an impressive collection of poems, plus a variety of articles on different subjects. Check out her work, and meet a new friend.

Meet Karelee

I have just recently met Karelee through messaging on Triond. It is wonderful to meet new writers from all over world. Visit her profile, and you will find a wide range of articles, and poems to enjoy.

She is new to Triond, and we should welcome her to our community.

Meet Denny Lyon

Denny Lyon is a very talented young woman. Her creativities are amazing. She incorporates her own photos into her articles. It is very refreshing to see a different way of presenting an article.

She is a woman after my own heart since she believes in pay it forward also. It seems kindness is always returned double.

Honorable Mention Writers for Their Generosity

This article is not complete without mentioning the generosity of some writers, who have selflessly promoting my articles and others' on different social bookmarking sites. These writers are: Anne Lyken Garner, Chan Lee Peng, Alexa Gates and Lanne.

These writers and I are not exchanging submission to social bookmarking sites; we do it out of sheer enjoyment for the article, and practice the act of kindness. I believe in pay it forward, therefore, from time to time, I do submit articles/photos from new users also.

Claris Fernandez

Claris is very generous in supporting not only me, but to all of her friends. She has an impressive collection of poems, and fantastic management articles. Check them out!

Geri O'Hara

Geri has a generous soul, who was kind enough to pass on my article to her family, and submitted it to her Xomba's site. Whether I receive views or not, her act of kindness has touched me deeply!

Be a friend, and check out her work!

Now, jump on the band wagon, write about your recommended friends, introduce them to our community, and give them the recognition that they deserve. Always remember to be generous, pay it forward, and do a random act of kindness!

Thank you for your glowing tribute to my Bandwagon, it grows daily. This is a great idea, we are not in competition as we all earn through our own work. One thing we must not forget is that Triond is also for other creative souls other than writers, your idea will give us a chance to highlight some of our photographic and musical friends here. I will be writing more soon, and I think my next piece will be such as yours, a tribute page to my friends.
I will be following my leader soon :)

Excellent idea!

As I am way behind with catching up with everybody (I have started to add people to my friends list when I saw an article I wanted to read but didn't have the time) ... it will be ages I will be able to do such a work of recommendation. But time will bring it forth :)
#7 by  BC Doan, Nov 17, 2008
Hi guys,

Thank you all for your comments, but the idea is: you pick five new writers and write an article about them to introduce them to the community. This is just a way to make them feel welcome to Triond.
#8 by  Brian Daniel Stankich, Nov 17, 2008
Yes, spread the kindness. We are all in this together. I have two articles in the works that will highlight other works.
#9 by  gabbic1219, Nov 17, 2008

#11 by  Eddie Socko, Nov 17, 2008
excellent idea and well put together article. as a newbee here and one of thousands seeking support and recognition, this is a good reminder that we're all still just people- real live people- and not just a collection of words.

bravo!
#12 by  Anne Lyken Garner, Nov 17, 2008
This is such a great thing. Writers shouldn't think that we're against each other, because we can all help each other to work towards betterment.

Thanks to all the people who've mentioned my name. I am so honoured. BC, if you want us to introduce new writers to the forum, I'll have to look around for some new ones and decide who I enjoy reading, before I take you up on that.

#13 by  Karelee, Nov 17, 2008
As usual BC... you've aced it!! I just love peaking in on you from time to time to see what direction you are going in and this time you have really done an awesome job helping other writers to feel noticed and give them some incouragement. Thanx and keep it coming.. It'll be hard to top this one!! :o)

Take care.... Karelee
#14 by goodselfme, Nov 17, 2008
What ever we call "IT", we all want to help others. EBAZAAR has some great knowledge she shares in between school, job and reading others information. Give her a look!
Tony Downing Is a fine poet and accomplished writter of many compositions. Get ready to be Wowed by his poems. Give him a look!
#15 by  CA Johnson, Nov 17, 2008
What a great article and a great idea! :)
#16 by  jackalina, Nov 17, 2008
I loved the idea of the bandwagon too. Your idea will also work well along with it. I am new to triond and am building up a new network of friends. You should check out Joystick7, Leanne hume,papaleng,lindalulu,Tmrobotix only to name a few.
#17 by  Judy Sheldon, Nov 17, 2008
BC, this is truly a beautiful and selfless thing to do. I have not made my rounds for awhile as my computer was down for awhile and I have been trying desperately to catch up on reading everyone's writes. It's hard to do when you have to snatch a minute here or there on someone else's computer, but I am back up and running, so am trying to read all the wonderful articles I've missed, and it seems that my friends have written LOADS!! lol

How new do you want the writer to be?

Take care & God bless.
#18 by  BC Doan, Nov 17, 2008
Hi everyone,

Thank you for such a warm welcome to this idea! It is your turn to write and introduce any new writers/fan/friends that you want.

Judy, whoever you want to recommend!

Thank you so much everyone who had nominated me. I really appreciate it.

I would like to nominate M Bailey and Athlyn Green.

There are so many truly wonderful writers here at Triond that it was difficult to pick but if I had to nominate two, I would nominate them.

Best,

Inna

An excellent article about an excellent suggestion! I love the selflessness that seems to permeat throughout the Triond readership.
Two fantastic writers who have given me much encouragement and help are Eddiego65 and Christine Ramsey. Both of these writers have really helped to keep me...a newbie...going!
#28 by Nick Kenney, Nov 22, 2008
