Goodreads asked Kiersten Lillis:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Kiersten Lillis Telling stories is a part of being human, a part of figuring out what it means to be human. Writing is a unique way to connect to other people now and in the future. I think it was Stephen King who said that writing is like time-traveling, and I think that's kind of the coolest thing ever, to be able to write a story now and then have the possibility that someone many years in the future could read it. It's a special way to leave a mark on the world...and it's so fun!
