Submissions of Articles to Triond

I have had a few people e-mailing me having problems with sending articles to Triond.  I have had problems getting my own work copied on print but I am sure that is NOT the fault of Triond.  I have printed them out since so that appears to be my own fault at the time.  Nathan who works for Triond did e-mail someome and say that at that particular time there was a technical problem somewhere but that can happen anywhere to anyone at any time (Sounds like the old advert for Martini doesn.t it?) 

With regards to submitting articles to TRIOND’s sites there could be two or three problems. 

1)   Are you sure you are following the right procedures and links when you submit your work?  Read carefully the instructions on site and take your time (taking time to do things is a major set-back of my own failures on computers as I admit at times I am not the most patient of people).

2)  The pressure of work of the checkers can delay things – see my article on Triond about waiting times for submissions to people. Three what is written may not be suitable for printing on this particular site or in the context it is written.  This comment is not meant to cause offence to any individual but it is a fact that could be relevant for many reasons.  Don’t forget the editorial staff of Triond must be far too busy to examine the personal issues with each and every writer and to them they are just doing a job for us all – irrespective of who or what we are or are not.

3)  This DOES NOT mean you cannot be a good writer.  There are several; rfeasons why this is so – again please read my articles on submissions to Triond.  I am not in any way intending to impose or croach on Triond’s territory but if genuine help is required and Triond don’t object to me giving out tips to people I will do so.  Perhaps Nathan or someone from Triond can confirm this directly to me if that is ok with them.  Another tip for anyone who doesn’t mind reading is to get books on writing from a library that can help you.  If you are as keen on writing as I am then you will be able to pick up tips.  It is one of those subjects where there is #always something to learn and I am still reading books after wring freelance (just for enjoyment) for years. I am reading one by Peter Finch an established author (not the actor). My oparticular forte in writing is poetry and particularly I have written about 400 or more since 2000 when I really started writing in earnest.

What with earnest and frank comments how many other lads are getting in on the act? lol Best wishes to all.
