Words to Live By...


Never throw up on an editor.

- Ellen Datlow

It's none of their business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way.

                ~ Ernest Hemingway

We are a species that needs and wants to understand who we are. Sheep lice do not seem to share this longing, which is one reason why they write so little.
                        ~ Anne Lamott

A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one.
                   ~ Baltasar Gracián

Nothing, not love, not greed, not passion or hatred, is stronger than a writer's need to change another writer's copy.
                        ~ Arthur Evans

As an author: Tristi Pinkston has a skill and knack for writing that surpasses many authors being published today. I await each new book and sit curled in the corner of my couch, turning page after page 'til the last one is reached. Tristi has her own shelf in my vast library. ~ Candace E. Salima

As an editor: As an author myself, I submit no manuscripts until Tristi has gone through them thoroughly. She has an ability to find every problem as well as everything that is good. She is efficient and I deliver a polished manuscript every single time ... if I listen to her advice. And if I don't, I end up with egg all over my face!  ~ Candace E. Salima

As a friend: I wuv Tristi, she's my favowite person in the whole wide world. Seriously, she is a rock and someone I can depend on through thick and thin.  ~ Candace E. Salima
