A book can make you cry and laugh.” Kelsea started to read when she was very young, her mom read to her and she would follow along. Pretty soon, it was Kelsea reading instead of her mom. Kelsea fondly remembers having a contest with her brother to see would could read the dullest book the quickest. Kelsea won and proudly knew that if she could accomplish that, then she could take on any book. Kelsea loves to read Sci-Fi Fantasy because of the believability of the stories. Many of her books came as gifts from supporting family and friends. To choose a book on her own, Kelsea simply closes her eyes and picks a random book that she usually ends up loving.

Kelsea is a writer. She believes that to be a good writer you need to be a good reader, have a good imagination, and have a serious attitude but slightly whimsical and funny. To be a good writer you have to capture an audience first. Kelsea believes that to capture an audience you need to know what type of audience you want and to not be afraid to shock people or start an argument. She also believes that people have a purpose for writing such as to present feelings or an idea. When Kelsea first started to learn how to write the only purpose she had was to have fun. She remembers writing letters to imaginary people, giving them to her mom then getting a surprise response. A couple people she remembers writing to are the Easter Bunny and a Leprechaun. Like many other authors Kelsea is inspired by nature and the ability to describe one thing with thousands of words. When Kelsea finds something that inspires her she starts writing in first person point of view. This is how she starts writing most of her works. The main way she starts a story is in the middle of the night. She writes down a dream that she has had then continues it in the morning. When Kelsea writes a story she usually writes it in her room. Here she is far away from people and has everything that she needs. In her room she can also think about the things she likes to write about. Such as imaginary worlds, imaginary people or things, and she also likes to write about historical events in a different point of view. Overall Kelsea would describe her writing ability as proficient but she is still learning and has a lot to learn. =====
