This is an article in response to someone else posting the same article as I did.
For some of us writing is more than a love but a way of life. Well, that’s one reason why I am writing this article. As many of you well know that I wrote a small article about Googling Yourself. It was published on Triond and wasn’t getting the results that I think that it should have gotten. Well, I disturbed when I saw an article of the exact same nature of mine. First of all you don’t use the same article as someone else and do it shortly after they do it. We all are searching to get noticed and to be appreciated for our hard work. I made a comment that wasn’t rude or mean but pointed out to the author that it wasn’t appreciated. I could see writing the article and publishing it about six months after my article but you don’t do it within the same month. I try to make time to read other people’s work and try to give as much feedback as I can. I want to be appreciated just as much as anyone else on Triond.
As a poet and writer I care and want to help others but I would never publish someone else’s idea or work. One of my friends had done the 50 things to know about me but I didn’t publish it after she did the one she wrote. I took the work to another site and didn’t compete with her work. My work on Triond is my only income right now and I am doing all that I can. My goal is to write another book that’s one reason why I don’t publish all my work online. I am not a mean person and don’t want to be harsh on anyone. If the person who wrote article is mad at me then I understand but when we are competing to get our work looked at. I am a poet and writer that take the craft very seriously and just hope that people understand that for some of us it’s a love affair that we take to heart.
This article isn’t meant to make anyone think less of me but I just wanted my voice to be heard. I would just hope that people see where I am coming from and know that this is just to let you know that this is important to me.

Don’t worry I would never do that to you. Most everyone on Triond is trust worthy, however there’s always a black sheep.
Trust in the rest of us! Great expressive writing!

What a terrible thing to happen. I trust everyone until they give me a reason not to trust them. You can always trust me, I think you know that. Great article!

There appears to be an influx of copiers, but they won’t last, they never do. Keep up the good work.

I don’t believe most of us would write something that another writer had published unless accidently.
None of us can read everything that is published on Triond. It’s just too much to keep up with.Let me apologize inadvance if I should ever do it.It would not be intentional.

Jackie
You are a good writer. I totally sympathize with your plight. I too only have Triond as my principle income. (Not too much more I can do but write, with being physically limited – even if I did not have dad to care for)
However dear, don’t let these kind of things get you down. Stay positive, focused, believe in yourself and your craft…you have a gift to give that only you can do….get ‘er done, sis! You can do it.
