Your Name: Katherine Williams
What you like to be called: Katy (but I'm not picky)
Your email: kawilliams@mills.edu
Your birthday: November 29th
Your genre(s): Short fiction, poetry
Your thesis idea: Drug use and daughterhood explored through five entwined sections of a novel-esque type thing (poetic fiction).
Why you are a writer: Because time moves in the wrong order.
First thing you ever wrote: A story about a woman and a crane that received high marks from an aggressive and snooty teacher, but the attention made me shy and I wrote no more for him.
What are your writing practices? How often? How long? Where? With? etc.
No strict recipe. I write when the mood hits me, and then when I have something good going I sit myself down in my room for "writing days," and hold myself to made-up and loose deadlines. For best results, I guzzle copious amounts of ginger ale and discuss my current work with my grandmother.
Anything else you want to tell us?
I'm looking forward to working and creating with you all!
Ginger Ale and grandmother sound like a great pre-writing ritual. I'm very excited by your concept of time and if you play with that in your writing
