LQ: What does your writing process look like? LF: It can be chaotic and obsessive. Sometimes I outline my ideas and other times I write in spurts it all depends on the subject. I do write daily even if it’s a micro poem. LQ: What was your favorite book to write so far? LF: My recent fantasy poetry novel called Soliloquy of an Ice Queen. LQ: Who is your favorite character to write about? LF: All the different versions of me that I wish I could have guided be it in my current YA project or my poetry books.

LF: Wow so many,Maya Angelou, my father Herve Florival, Félix Morisseau Leroy, Edwige Danticat, Elizabeth Acevedo, Nnedi Okorafor, Roshani Chokshi, Tomi Adeyemi. Yes, I think any writing that touched my heart leaves a little imprint there and teaches me how to be truer to my own voice. LQ: How are you doing during the current pandemic? LF: It has places in a state of surrender I am learning to be at peace with and create from. There are great days and hard days. LQ: What are you currently working on? LF: I am working on my podcast Creatively Exposed, some voice acting work, and returning to my unfinished stories. LQ: Anything else you would like to share?
