Reading Them Forward

Have you all noticed that your older posts aren't getting read? Here's my plan...

  After Glynis wrote the story about her band wagon, I began thinking about all of our posts. The older ones seem to get lost in the shuffle of all the new ones and they don't get read very much. I believe a lot of our older stuff deserves to be seen and read. I have gone back through a lot of your older stuff and mine and realized that there is a lot of good things back there. So I came up with a plan that will benefit us all.

  My Plan:

  With all of the help from you my friends, instead of reading all the new posts we write, maybe we could start with the last post the writer wrote and read them forward. With everyone's help maybe this will help all of us get a few views of our earlier works that many didn't get read. I know a lot of my beginning posts never got read, and it is probably because I didn't have any friends. Now, so many articles come out daily it is hard to read them all.

  I also would like to recognize a few of your articles that I found very impressive. If you find some back there in the lost closet please leave comments about them so we all can go read!

  The first writer I would like to mention is R J Grant's The Grand Father. I love Grant's writes and this one never got a lot of views or comments. He has so many great articles posted. I have read all of his work but not necessarily commented on them all. He has a style of the bad boy image, which I love! He writes about life lessons which are sometimes hilarious.  He also wrote a poem that was inspired by me and my son going in the Navy. I Have Not Passed This Way Before . I cried when I read it! Grant was also a military man, thank God for all of them. Go check them out and let him and me know what you think.

  The next writer I would like to give tribute to is Will Gray's Mock Masque . This post was never read. I just read it myself. Will writes with lots of emotion. He is a very caring guy and has a special talent of bringing his feelings to the reader. Go check him out!

  The last writer I would like to take notice of is Drell's Beautiful Mural . Although she is on my friends list she never seems to stop by, but I love her work! She writes with such passion. I read her posts all the time. Go see what you can find and let me know.

  There are so many great writers here and its so hard to mention them all so I will stop at three. Lets see who you can find and read them forward. Lets think of this game as kind of a scavenger hunt. Lets go find the post we feel are worthy of some views.  Lets have a blast and see who we can dig out of the cob webs of the past and Read them Forward!

#4 by  Paula Mitchell Bentley, Nov 16, 2008
This is a great idea Lindalulu! I'd recommend ace campillo's poem Fading Friendship http://www.authspot.com/Poetry/Fading-Friendship.122781.
Or Liand Schmidt's Mission Statement for Life http://www.socyberty.com/Lifestyle-Choices/Mission-Statement:-Your-Life.7908.
Or Michael Degenhardt's Faded Photograph http://www.authspot.com/Poetry/Faded-Photograph.235649.

I could go on and on.

Great ones, keep them coming guys!
Oh here is another great one, JD Green's music. I found him here and on myspace. Great tunes go check them out!
#6 by gabbic1219, Nov 16, 2008
i thought about that as well,alot of ppl. stuff including our own in the beginning is great and many have not seen them i think u can copy paste them in an article like this so others will click on them....good job!
#7 by  Lucas Dié, Nov 16, 2008
What a lark again! I started doing almost the same as you lindalulu, but I am way not as organised and never even thought about writing on it. Just great.

I nominate C Jordan http://www.socyberty.com/History/The-Mystery-of-Bedlam-Revealed.260403 because he was left out in his role as The Keeper in Debra’s Triond Town.
Lauren Axelrod http://www.notecook.com/Main-Course/Pasta/Top-Secret-Recipe-for-Chicken-Fra-Diavolo-with-Fresh-Spinach-Leaves.190813 , because she never gets enough recognition for her recipes.
maryspaul http://www.picable.com/Nature/Flowers/Dutch-Tulip-Seven.287567 because there are loads of great pictures on Triond, and she has beautiful ones.

I'm inspired and I agree with you
#27 by  Brian Daniel Stankich, Nov 16, 2008
Good idea. I've only been on Triond for 6 weeks so what I've done in looking for friends is hit some of the older stuff. But you are encouraging us to go back in the day!
#28 by  Michele Cameron Drew, Nov 16, 2008
I haven't been here all that long, but I love this idea and have noticed lots of creative ideas like this coming up in recent posts. I'm happy to be part of a site where everyone is so interested in working together as a community.

Great write, Linda. I'm looking forward to many more :)
#29 by  PR Mace, Nov 16, 2008
Great idea. I have to go and look up some older stories. I just hope someone does the same for me. Happy reading.
#30 by  Peter Cimino, Nov 16, 2008

#36 by  Mary Contrary, Nov 17, 2008
Another smashing idea on Triond! Everyone sure had their thinking caps on and WOW in this time of giving it keeps going & going like the energizer bunny!!! This is what I do when I can't write, I read & try to support everyone else! Hugs everyone! Happy reading & writing.

Glynis Smy
All of her nursing stuff! All of her articles are worth reading, but can't think of a person one that hasn't dealt with a nurse on some level. This makes you think about their side of the story!

Excelent Idea that coupled with networking and we could all get our work seen
#39 by  lindalulu, Nov 17, 2008
I just stumbled upon a very good article by our friend RJ Grant again. I was shocked to discover no one had left a comment until now on the post. Go check it out!
http://www.authspot.com/Short-Stories/Meeting-at-Shire-Wood-Bridge.276205 .
There are so many wonderful posts here. I am trying to make the rounds and check out all the ones that have been left above by all of you, but it seems to be taking me some time. Keep the ball rolling!
#40 by goodselfme, Nov 17, 2008
Thank you for a great idea. One person already took your advice and is going to go through my old ones. I often go back to others older ones and read them too. Good idea of yours.
#41 by  C Jordan, Nov 17, 2008
Found this virtually unread item from s. hayes. Her first piece of writing on Triond. A short amusing poem:

#42 by  lindalulu, Nov 17, 2008
Hi All, I have been so busy trying to reach all of you and read forward. I have found some really emotional, some fun posts. I really am thankful for all of you here on Triond...we are a part of such a wonderful community, my new family! Keep them coming so I can read more, more, more...
#43 by  valli, Nov 17, 2008
Nice and creative idea.
#44 by  PR Mace, Nov 18, 2008
This is so great. I have been reading forward and spreading the work. Check out my friend Mary Contary. Her early works are great. My first Triond friend Nick Kenney. He is not writing at this moment but he hopes to be back soon. Check out his older works. He tells great stories through the eyes of a dog. They will break your heart. Happy reading, Pam
#45 by  poo, Nov 18, 2008
Great idea :) also I would further suggest if we have a live chat on triond wat say?
#46 by  Patrick Bernauw, Nov 18, 2008
Great plan!... I was thinking about supporting each other (especially the poets... it's difficult to get your poetry read) on FaceBook, HubPages, Squidoo, etc... You can start a group there and promote your work and that of your colleagues!
#47 by  Mary Contrary, Nov 18, 2008
I just found a new person that I haven't seen much of, but started reading their stuff & it's really good. Their ID is "Tilted" ! Happy reading & writing everyone! And a very Blessed & safe Thanksgiving! :)
#48 by  M J katz, Nov 23, 2008
Ha ha...you caught me off guard with this one! I've read quite a few 'old' posts since joining Triond in October, but now have to go back and get the titles, etc.
In the words of Arnold Schwartzenegger; "I'll Be Back....."!

Hi,

Just wanted to pay a visit. I have been reading forward as much as I can and passing the idea on. Keep it up everyone!
