HOW DO I LOVE THEE???

HOW DO I LOVE THEE??? 

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height. My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight. For the ends of Being and Ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with a passion put in my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose with my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of my life! -- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

Okay. so my girl Elizabeth Barrett Browning hit it on the head when speaking about a LOVE so real...so deep that it only gets better AFTER death. Now that's deep LOVE. When crafting my stories, I try to create Kismetlit heroines who're after a deep love like Elizabeth wrote about. They're women who've experienced "love" only to be hurt, and heartbroken. It's at that point though where they vow to never allow themselves to fall in love again, although we know that's not going to happen. Then in walks our hero. I'll be real. I used to like writing stories where my hero and heroine were the same race, but as I learned and looked at our world, I soon realized that LOVE -- real love has no color...

Remember (Sanaa Lathan's) character Kenya McQueen in the romantic comedy Something New? Kenya was a very savvy, sophisticated sister whose life was in order, or so she thought until she was set up on a blind date with the oh so sexy (Simon Baker) Brian Kelly. He was her polar opposite in all facets. Kenya was organized, met deadlines, and did everything by the book, whereas Brian had this sort of "go with the flow" spirit which was just what Kenya needed. Hence their meeting was KISMET...though Kenya tried to fight it...

Love. A wise woman once told me, there's nothing else in the world like experiencing real love...I haven't found it, and have never been in LOVE. So, for now I'll take her word for it, but until then...I'll keep writing about this thing we call LOVE... 

WELCOME TO KISMETLIT...

Inside the mind of KismetLitChick...

Welcome to KismetLit ..."where without KISMET there'd be no stories of happily ever after" I'm kismetlitchick, and this is my new cyber home. Here's a bit about me. I'm a true hopeless romantic in every sense. I'm a writer, lover of the written word. So when coming up with ideas about this blog I contacted my sistah friend/writer/mentor Shon Bacon, and after picking my brain, she helped me birth this wonderful idea. 


Kismet. Some people, no matter the time and distance are destined to be together, hence kismetlit! KismetLit are passionate stories full of sexual tension where the heros and heroines meet by kismet and do everything within their power to maintain their happily ever after at all costs. Sounds a bit dramatic. Lol. I know, but what stories about true love and happily ever after's aren't? 


I've tried this blog thing several times, only to have it fall flat, my ideas and motivation too, but not this time.  Here I FEEL more connected because NOW after seven and a half years of writing, I finally have a sense of WHO I am, and what genre I'm most passionate about. As you'll soon hear from Shon, she'll let you know that I'm a big believer in KISMET & LOVE and that all my stories REFLECT these themes. So here on this blog, I want to interview writers who are passionate about kismetlit, and have writers submit short kismetlit stories that I'll post on here. I hope you all enjoy this site as much as I will!

KismetLit's New Look!

How ya like me now?

Okay. So it's been a minute since my last post, but I had a good reason as to why I was away. I was getting my little home in cyberspace renovated! That's right, check me out! Sickeningly sweet right? Lol. 


Anyway I want to give a shout out to a new friend of mine Leah Williams of  Cutesie Blog Designs. Anyway, I happened to stumble upon Leah's site when I decided to take my blog seriously (Thanks Shon Bacon for giving me a swift kick in the rump!) 


Anyhow while trying to find something girly and cute, I found Leah's site, loved what I saw and contacted her immediately. Her prices are affordable, and Leah's always available to answer any questions you may have. I will definitely recommend her to my clients, friends, and anyone who's interested in needing help to design their blog.
