I’m behind (of course), but here’s my author introduction for #nanothatwrimo! 👋 If we haven’t met, let me introduce myself. My name is Kelsie, and I’m a writer. It took me a long time to accept that about myself, but I’ve finally embraced it. I love to write stories of hope and heartbreak, and for me that encompasses both contemporary women’s fiction and fairy tale inspired fantasy. My current WIP is heavily inspired by my hometown of North Pole, Alaska—where we say it’s always winter but never Christmas. 😉🤣 ❄️ I have two kids, a 4 year old son and a 10.5 month old daughter. While I love them dearly, they are the best distraction to writing I’ve ever endured! ❄️ I’m a firm believer in writing every day—or at least editing and working on my writing in some way every single day, whether it’s adding words to the page or taking them away to make my writing stronger. ❄️ You can find me here on IG the most, or Twitter @KelsieEngen, or Facebook (@KelsieEngenAuthor). I also blog periodically on KelsieEngen.com and KelsieEngenAuthor.com (where you can also buy my debut women’s fiction novel, Spurn the Moon, directly from me!). You can also find my novel on Amazon, Kobo, and Apple Books. I have five short stories available as well, all available on Amazon if you search my name. ❄️ I’d love to connect with you. Drop a comment below and tell me a little about you and where to find you! ❤️ ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ #amwriting #writing #writethatnovel #author #authors #authorsofinstagram #igauthors #writeordie #writingcommunity #momswhowrite #fiction #justkeepwriting #keepwriting #writeeveryday #wip #workinprogress #novelinprogress #noveling #novel #shortstory #writingiswork #writerslife #nanowrimo #nano #nanothatwrimo #writer (at Fairbanks, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpxQUIwn-CL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hkyka7jdk1cy

My daughter’s friend made her a new custom keyboard. The return key makes me giggle every time I see it. #keyboard #customkeyboard #womenintech #computer #pukeboard #computernerd #writersofinstagram #writerslife #igwriters #igauthors

I've been more MIA than usual, but I promise I have a good reason!! It's been days since it happened, but the knowledge is still a little unreal: I have an agent! 2.5 weeks, 32 requests, and 11 offers later, I'm now represented by the amazing @johnmcusick! I don't talk much about my writing on here, but in addition to designing and blogging, I've been writing for a little over seven years. And the novel John offered representation for? Took me four years to complete! It was a long journey, but the query process took about 2.5 weeks. It was crazy and insane and I'm all sorts of grateful! I'm currently working on revisions for the novel of my heart, aka a fantasy set in an alternate Arabia, where magic no longer exists, assassins lurk, and the land is villainous. I can't wait to share this with you all one day!

Crossing a project off my to-do list is always a relief. First pass edits on #DreamWarSaga 3 are finally finished! It's been a long road with this book, and it's not even close to over, but it's worth it to get the chance to come one book closer to the end of my debut series. Even if that end doesn't happen until 5 or 6 years after the series began. 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 #writerslife #authorlife #writersofinstagram #booknerdigans #yalit #Instagram #books #bookstagram #igauthors #igauthorlife #authorsofinstagram #amediting #SuchSweetSorrow #wordpress
