Quote by Tieshka K Smith

“Unlike photography, writing has always been a ruthless and unrelenting teacher, a demanding lover, a sparring partner that leaves me bruised and scarred, but the satisfaction I’ve always gained from completing a writing project is unmatched. Not much else compares.”

“Excitement is simple: excitement is a situation, a single event. It mustn't be wrapped up in thoughts, similes, metaphors. A simile is a form of reflection, but excitement is of the moment when there is no time to reflect. Action can only be expressed by a subject, a verb and an object, perhaps rhythm -- little else. Even an adjective slows the pace or tranquilizes the nerve.”
