And The Triond Awards for 2011 Go To..
I joined Triond on the 9th August 2011 and after the initial frenzy and desperation of flogging away for all hours of the night trying to write articles someone else might actually like to read; I have now well and truly discovered the real joy of Triond – enjoying the articles written by other writers here.
You are a talented lot that’s for sure and to be honest, there aren’t enough hours in the day to enjoy all of the articles my busy Triond friends manage to write on a daily basis – but I promise to keep trying.
If you are like me (heaven help you!) I have to say that the biggest thrill is not really in the amount of views you receive for a particular article (although that is nice and the money sure doesn’t go a miss), for me though it’s in the comments you receive from your fellow writers. That gives me a bigger high than any drug could!
Now that 2011 has come to a close and we are at the beginning of a brand, spanking new year; I think it’s appropriate that we should at least get frocked up (ladies of course!) and tread the red carpet to the Triond awards.
And so, without further ado and in no particular order:
THE WINNERS ARE…*drum roll please!*
For always making me laugh and never failing to surprise and for sharing my warped sense of humour:
ImKarn23 and Norm Schneider – you are both true gems!
For everything to do with making money from home, freelancing, gaming, health and more – but mostly for being such a kind and helpful friend:
For all things movie related and especially reviews (what this guy doesn’t know about movies isn’t worth knowing!) for those absolutely bizarre news stories and especially for all the help and support you have given me:
For all of our gaming needs and your wonderful willingness to help anyone here at Triond and for being a lovely new friend to me:
For your great articles but especially your yummy recipes and your warm friendship:
For your thought provoking articles and your fantastic fiction writing – check out the awesome novel ‘Noble Deeds’ – you’ll be glad you did!
For anything pet or animal related or environmental and thank you for introducing me to WEBANSWERS and all your help along the way:
For all things comic book related and anything to do with professional wrestling (again, what this guy doesn’t know about professional wrestling wouldn’t be worth knowing):
For your short stories and poems and for being a lovely person (where have you been?)
For your truly amazing and heartwarming cartoons:
For all of your wonderful articles and just for being lovely, lovely people:
Jsqc writer, Karen Gross, Ruby Hawk, Sheila Newton, CHIPMUNK, Elle64, OrmusNation, rgreenfield, lxdollarsxl, Joe Ram, stuart747, Matt Pierce, yes me, Julian Simmons and indianwriting and Yvhes P. – thank you all for your lovely comments and support and I look forward to checking out more of your work in 2012.
And for my newest friend and definitely one to watch:
…a huge round of applause for them all!!! Take a well deserved bow all of you wonderful writers and I’ll gladly meet you all at the after awards party!!
Now I know there are many, many more I have forgotten to mention (and I apologize for that) so please do yourself a favor – check these wonderful writers out and when you’ve finished that you might like to take a look at my other friends on my profile page (just click on ‘dazzlejazz’ at the top there). Everyone here at Triond has something wonderful and different to offer; be sure to leave a comment when you do and you never know you might just make yourself a few more friends while you’re at it!
If you are not a member of the Triond community then what the heck are you waiting for? You can join here (it’s free!) and you too will make a little spare cash and a lot of great friends. See you there!

Hey your a very good writer yourself, it is only the chundering that sometimes is hard to take.
By the looks of the number of comments you got on here alone, you might get to the million quicker than you think. – Did i say million? i meant to say something else but the thought escaped my fingers at time of typing. – Have a very profitable year.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:41 am
Thank you dazzlejazz, I am so sincerely honored. You are a wonderful writer and I admire your work. I’m so glad we are friends. Yes, let’s continue celebrating and honoring writing, writers, diversity …
