The awesome Angela and Becca over at The Bookshelf Muse (and authors of the fabulous Emotion Thesaurus) have solicited the aid of the blogosphere to help find people who belong on Santa's Nice list. They're hoping that we'll be able to add to the list without Santa being any the wiser.
I found this lady:
Tristi Pinkston |
What can I say about her? Did I mention that she's funny? Besides that she's kind, generous, friendly, giving, compassionate, and intelligent? Trisit's helpful. SO helpful. She's a wonderful support to fledgling writers, with both encouragement and advice. She's traditionally published and self-published, so she's has had a lot of experience. Tristi is also a freelance editor (you better schedule her soon because her schedule fills early), so she knows her stuff.
Thank you, Tristi, for being you. You're an inspiration to me. I want to be like you when I grow up.
The following I submit in tribute to Tristi:
Thank you very much!
This is the reprise at the end of my favorite version of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge, starring Albert Finney. When I first saw the movie, this scene made me tear up because it was so poignant after this version of the song. Tristi doesn't need the first rendition.
How about you, Readers? Is there someone you'd like to say Happy Holidays to, or tell them how much they mean to you?
JOIN US! There's plenty of days left until Christmas, and sometimes a
kind word can lift people up in a way that they really need.
It's as easy as sending a free ecard or email note, posting on a
Facebook wall or sending out a tweet. So go ahead and spread some
kindness and cheer!
