Never give up writing if that is your goal in life. Through Triond, the writer’s site, I have been given a writing chance to spread my wings in the writing world.

I joined Triond one year ago, I had kept my writing under wraps and never shared my work with anyone except those closest to me. I did write a couple of articles for a nursing magazine in the UK and was paid a generous amount per very simple article.

I secretly published my poetry book FROM MY HEART INSIDE MY HEAD in 2007 for my 50th birthday and found I sold in a few countries around the world.

I then found Triond writer’s site www.triond.com and started to offer up my poetry, photographs and then a few simple articles. I met friends and saw their names supporting me in the comments boxes, there were a few commenters who were deleted and a few non Trionders who left a ‘nice’ comment or two. Triond gave me courage, it set my mind free. I set up a few blogs, one of which is my poetry blog A POET’S WORD, it has attracted a few followers, I tick along quite contented with my writing efforts.

Yesterday, something changed my life, my spirits were lifted a little higher, I had been wondering which way my writing was going and was it time to stop writing on Triond, I earn extremely small amounts and am sometimes disappointed, anyway I opened my article about VILLAGE LIFE:POLEMI AND STROUMPI and glanced through the positive comments, then one caught my eye;

“I would like to speak to you regarding this article – as I am looking for a similar view for a magazine I am working with please contact me ASAP myron@faceartcy.com” 

Well me being me, I googled this person before contacting, boy was I thrilled… A former BBC (UK television) script writer and author, had read my work and wanted me to contact him. I did and he is looking for writers on the island of Cyprus for a magazine and has invited me to be one of those writers. He is not a Triond writer, he sourced the Internet and found me.

Now the point of this article is to show you, that the outside world does read our work and that they are looking for quality writers, clear well written articles in good English. If you are serious about writing, forget wasting time on trivial nonsense and get down to the serious stuff, Triond is a site for writers to get noticed, my poetry has been on here a long time and gets some lovely comments from my friends, and I thank them all, however, I put an article that is different for me and going by the comments is obviously of interest, plus it caught the eye of someone who may be able to help my future writing career here in Cyprus. I will never give up.
