LILY'S FAST FACTS
What’s on your nightstand right now?
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi and Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
Do you have any eccentric habits/strategies to get you started writing? What are they?
I actually like to write at my job. I worked at the front desk of a gym while doing my MFA, and it was easy to just open up a Word document and start writing during the slow times.
Your advice to an incoming MFA student?
Write a lot, take notes when inspiration hits, and don’t be too discouraged by rejections. Rejections make the eventual acceptances more satisfying.
