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!

However, in this article, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the beautiful, quiet writers at Triond. They are the ones that should receive appreciation, since they work behind the scene in supporting a wide range of other writers: old and new, friends and fans.

Lucy Lockett

She has to be on my top list! Yes, she is the greatest supporter not only to me, but to pretty much the whole gang at Triond. She makes time to leave comments, says it like it is, and is always encouraging.

In Lucy's profile, you can find many beautiful photos, an interesting collection of articles, and wonderful poems.

Sandra L. Petersen

Before Triond offered the Community button, I used to search for her high and low all over the internet. She is a generous soul to many writers at Triond. She often leaves supportive comments whether you are new or old to Triond.

A group of us was franticly search for her work to just show our appreciation, but failed because she signed her name without the "L." We were happy to find her after Triond gave us the Community gadget.

In Sandra's profile, you will find pages of wonderful photos, and creative poems.

Francie

Francie is another quiet writer at Triond. You can feel her energy through her comments, and in her work. She gives without expecting a return. If a title grabs her, she will read, and leave comments of encouragement. She has been a great supporter for many of us.

In Francie's profile, you can find many wonderful articles, and beautiful photos.

Nick Kenny

What can I say about Nick? He has a warm, caring, and genuine heart. After getting to know Nick, you will have a feeling as though he is always on the lookout for you. He will take you under his wings and give you his full support.

In Nick's profile, you will find his short stories and beautiful poems. Beware! Some of his stories will make the hair on your back stand up!

R. B. Parsley

Randy is another big brother figure at Triond. He is very supportive, generous with his feelings, and a caring soul. Get to know him, and you will be glad you did.

In R. B. Parsley's profile, you will find many wonderful poems. He is truly a writer who wears his heart on his sleeves, at least to me when I read his poetry.

If you think I am bias toward these writers, then you are right! They have supported me since the beginning. They are also the quiet force behind many other writers here on Triond. To Lucy, Sandra, Francie, Nick, and Randy, I am honored to be in the same community with you, and send my deepest gratitude to you all. You guys have made a home at Triond for many of us.
