Great New Changes in Triond

I started writing for Triond about four months ago. In the beginning, I did not expect much out of this site other than a chance to get some articles published and make a few friends who also shared an interest in writing. Both of those goals I achieved right at the beginning.

As I started to write more often both here and on other sites, I found I really enjoyed writing for this site despite not making any real money doing it for several reasons.

1. First, because I could try writing a wide variety of articles on all kinds of subjects and thus increase my writing skills.
2. Second, because I enjoyed reading other people’s articles and commenting on some of them and having people comment on mine.
3. Third, I felt that every so often my comments might have actually helped someone with their writing which made me feel as though I was contributing something.

The only thing I was not too thrilled with was our forum’s. When I first started I made a point of reading the forum’s looking for advice on various topics from improving my own writing, to getting views and found very little helpful information available.

In the last couple of weeks however I have noticed some really great threads being started in the forums that are helping others and wanted to take the opportunity to thank the people who started and contributed these threads. They are going to prove a big help to all of us.

The Help Thread!

This thread is really a great idea! Being able to ask a question and have someone who has a little expertise or an idea answer it is going to prove invaluable to new writer’s on this site. It not only allows people to get inside information but it gives a little one on one mentoring as well.

Forum Workshops

The three Forum workshop’s for Articles, poetry, and creative writing are wonderful! This forum actually allows anyone to get help with a specific piece of work. We can all use improvement, and this forum lets you get comments and suggestions from many different people.

Triond Gold

Although this forum was initially to help newcomer’s start getting views to add a few cents to their earnings it has become much more.

The members of this forum are actually reading one another’s work almost daily and making comments on what they read. They are helping each other not only improve their writing skills but to learn what kind of subjects are of interest to their readers.

For a forum that was predicted to fail it seems to be growing and providing a service as well.

I think it would be nice if everyone took a minute or two to stop by any of these forum’s and let the people who are active in them know that they are doing a great job and that they are helping this site become a true writers site.

While Triond itself may have say over what content they publish it is up to all of us to make it the kind of site that we want it to be and many people are stepping forward to do just that.

Great Job everyone.
