Six Inspirational Triond Writers

Allison West
I've been on Triond for almost two years, and even though I make a lot more money on other writing sites, something always draws me back to write articles for Triond. The Triond community has always embraced me and the writers there really care about creativity and growing as an artist. For a while now, I've thought about highlighting a few outstanding Triond writers who inspire me. The idea was rolling around in my head for a while, then I read a recent article by lindalulu, and I knew it was time for me to sit down and write this story. Here then, presented in no particular order, is a look at six inspirational Triond writers.

lindalulu

I'm presenting my list in no particular order, but I'm talking about lindalulu first because her article "The Internet and the Homeless" is what inspired me to finally sit down and write this article. In my opinion, lindalulu always writes from the heart and her articles have a lot of soul. Her article that talks about how homeless people frequently come to shelters with their laptops in hand certainly breaks down lots of stereotypes and misconceptions about what it means to be homeless in 2009.

Lindalulu's articles tend to stay in my consciousness long after I've read them, which is the mark of a great writer. I still think about her story called "Being My Mom's Caregiver" that discussed her experiences caring for her terminally ill mother. Lindalulu handled this difficult subject matter with grace, and her article was terribly sad, but also comforting and uplifting, because it was a story about loss but also tremendous love. There's a lot that I can personally relate to in her articles. I find that lindalulu's compassion and authentic writer's voice draws me back time and time again to read her Triond writing.

Nelson Doyle

If you've been writing for Triond for any length of time, you're probably aware of Nelson Doyle, one of the most popular Triond writers. I feel like I owe Nelson Doyle a debt of gratitude, because if I hadn't read his article about "10 Killer Internet Companies That Want To Pay You to Write" I never would have joined Triond. I happened to see this article, and it changed the course of my online writing because it brought me to Triond, where so many good things have happened for me. His article also mentions Xomba, another site I ended up writing for and it's a place where I've had quite a bit of success with Google AdSense.

I love how Nelson Doyle's articles balance the artistic side and the business side of online writing. He generously gives a lot of advice about how Triond writers can grow and prosper in their writing business. If you're just starting out there, or if you're more established and still need some writing tips, definitely take a close look at Nelson Doyle's articles on Writinghood, then check out his other great Triond articles.

WriteEditSeek

Every once in a while, a new writer will pop up on my fans list, send me a letter or friend request. WriteEditSeek is a newer face to Triond, but I was immediately blown away by her profile, and I felt an affinity with her work. Right now I'm creating a one woman show that talks about my life journey and it focuses a lot on religions and spirituality. WriteEditSeek has a lot of fascinating, thought provoking articles about spirituality, and I love how her Triond profile really reflects her spirit and individuality.

I immediately get a sense of WriteEditSeek from her words on her Triond page (I think an effective Triond profile page is a strong reflection of a Triond writer's personality and should draw you in to want to read more of their work). As I develop my solo performance about spirituality, I look forward to reading through WriteEditSeek's articles, and I think she's definitely one to watch on Triond!

RJ Chamberlain

If you know Rhys (writing on Triond as RJ Chamberlain) you know he's a friend, a thoughtful, generous person and a special writer, and this is why he became one of my Triond favorites. I just saw Rhys' article pop up again on the Hot Content list for July, and it's nice to have him back. You see, Rhys is a true Triond success story. He's been publishing there as RJ Chamberlain, but recently achieved success writing for a newspaper, winning a short story competition and starting a novel.

I really enjoy all of Rhys' work on Triond, and like I mentioned about lindalulu, I still think about the Expressions of India series written by RJ Chamberlain. Scroll through the RJ Chamberlain article list on Triond, and when you're done reading all his other stories, then concentrate on the series titled "Expressions of India." I've always wanted to visit India, and RJ Chamberlain makes me feel like I'm walking in his footsteps when I read his articles about his experiences in India. I feel all his emotions about India coming through in his writer's voice, and his series is a true pleasure to read. Don't miss these India stories and all of RJ Chamberlain's other great work on Triond.

B Nelson

B Nelson is a popular Triond writer, and I've always felt a strong affinity with her work because of her focus on writing about animals and the environment. She's always publishing another beautiful story that deeply affects me, and I enjoy them all, as well as her outstanding photos. One B Nelson article that stands out for me is her recent piece "The Hardest Part of Pet Ownership: Letting Go" and this story also influenced me recently to write this article about inspirational Trionders.

A few months ago, my family had to make the difficult decision to euthanize one of our pets, a cat that was part of our lives for almost fifteen years. A lot of my life is an open book as I craft so many articles about my own experiences, but I still find myself unable to put pen to paper about what it's like to lose my cat. So B Nelson's article was very significant for me and I'm sure it also affected many other readers. B Nelson is also one of the more experienced Triond members who is especially kind to newcomers, making them feel accepted and welcomed into the community. I feel a connection with all B Nelson's fine Triond writings; check out her profile, I'm sure you will too!

Liane Schmidt

Liane Schmidt is one of the most uplifting and inspirational writers on Triond. Her outstanding Triond content and her many positive comments on other writers articles are so appreciated by myself and all the other members of Triond. I always admire the grace and beauty of all Liane's Triond stories, and her underlying message of prosperity, abundance and possibility makes all writers feel like success is within their grasp, if you just stay positive and keep on writing from the heart.

All of Liane's work is full of valuable information intended to uplift, inspire and help readers improve their lives. I always look forward to seeing what Liane will write about next, as her articles are so fascinating and they demonstrate her great writing style. Liane is certainly a credit to the Triond community, if you haven't done so yet, then check out all Liane Schmidt's great work by visiting her Triond profile page.

These are six outstanding Triond writers who inspired me this past year. In order to talk about each Triond writer in depth, I've limited my list to half a dozen writers; however, there are so many other worthy and inspirational Trionders who also deserve the spotlight. Perhaps in the future I'll do another installment of exceptional Triond members that have influenced me greatly, but for now, have fun exploring this group of excellent Trionders and their many quality articles and photos on the site.

    I signed on to Triond but haven't published anything there yet. I will try to do so in the near future, and will certainly go there to read the authors you mention in this article. Thanks for sharing.

    I found your article quite interesting. I signed up for Triond but only submitted a few pieces. I am on 2 or 3 other writing sites as well; work, and go to school! I think I just don't have time for it all. I enjoyed reading this!
