Getting to Know Kelsie Stelting

Getting to Know Kelsie Stelting

Kelsie Stelting grew up in the middle of nowhere. (Also known as western Kansas.) Her rural upbringing taught her how to get her hands dirty and work hard for what she believes in. Plus, not having neighbors in a 10-mile radius as a child and traveling the world as an adult made her develop a pretty active imagination.

Diving into why they acted that way wasn’t always fun, but if it helps a reader today, it was worth it.

Seems simple, right? In theory, it is.

For this edition of Writer vs. Business Manager, I’d like to talk about the struggle of not writing—when that’s all you want to do. Everyone knows what it’s like when life gets in the way of your plans, but as an indie author, it’s more than that.
