This is a special two part post for Kismet's Blog Tour. The first portion is a Character Interview of Cody Barnaby, the main character in Kismet. The second portion is an interview of Lillian. For those of you who don't know, she is a mere twelve years of age and has embarked on the daunting task of writing and self-publishing a free story.
It takes a lot be an author. You must be imaginative, knowledgeable, creative, open-minded, disciplined, determined, and YOU.MUST.BE.BRAVE. You must have the courage to put yourself out there and be strong enough to take criticism, constructive or otherwise.
Lillian hasn't only entered the arena or professional authorship by publishing Kismet. Kismet is a serial story. You read that right: a serial story. A serial story is one of the most intimidating commitments an author can make. I know, I have one. A serial requires that you publish incremental installments of your story. This requires that you write and edit consistently without supervision or the benefit of beta reading and, above all, produce a good story. It is not an endeavor for the faint of heart, I assure you. On that note, it is my great honor and privilege to have Lillian on my blog today.
