My Beginnings

Posted on June 21, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

In my readings about writing, I came across several good points about how the beginning of your book is often the most important part–at least, if you intend to grab the attention of an editor, publisher or agent. I wondered what all my beginnings really looked like…and so I gathered them here for kicks. Would these beginnings make you, as a reader, want to keep reading? I welcome all comments. My beginnings…. The openings (first sentences/paragraphs) of my books. “Sully’s, on South Prospect, was the quintessential biker-bar, complete with hefty, leather-clad Harley worshippers, and stringy-haired heroin-addicted women who made the … Continue reading →

Random Act of Fiction

Posted on June 21, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliFebruary 5, 2013

The book I am working on now is an expansion project. Random Act of Blindness began as a short story for an erotic publication, grew into a novella, and now, I am expanding it to a full-length novel. This project is dear to me because I am trying to do something that I don’t think happens very much in the genre: making a truly erotic story rich with all the elements of any other good novel. I have always wondered why erotica seems to be sequestered in a dark corner, like a misbehaving red-headed step-child. Why can’t we have stories … Continue reading →

"Can’t. Have a Bone in my Shoulder."

Posted on June 21, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliJune 21, 2008

One witty remark that I have always loved is about an excuse not to do something: “I can’t. I have a bone in my leg.” I still find that wisecrack hysterical. My jocularity is tempered somewhat by the fact that I really do have a bone that keeps me from doing everything I want to do–at least, not without pain. I have a new bone spur in my left shoulder. I also have one in my right shoulder, but it did its acting up a few years ago, and now seems relatively well-behaved. The problem with bone spurs is that … Continue reading →

Veteran Aspiring Author

Posted on June 21, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 23, 2011

  I won’t apologize for letting this blog sit and gather a few cob webs. I’ve been engaged in the work this blog espouses. Writing. Reading. Editing. Learning. Oh, and periodically, living my life, too, outside of the literary pursuits–such as it is. Blogging is a spurt-sport for me. I do it in spurts. Not so with the writing of my books. Currently, I am polishing up previous manuscripts, after learning new things. And while this is a fresh endeavor, it’s not due to any greenness on my part. I have said many times that I spent 20 years falling … Continue reading →

Lee Iacocca, Speaking *MY* Mind

Posted on June 13, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliNovember 29, 2011

Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from it’s death throes? He is now 82 years old and has a new book. Here are some excerpts: “Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"I will always defend myself against attack. The High Road isn't necessarily paved with crosses."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Favorite Quotes

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man,living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.
~ George Carlin

First, I'm not trying to give the Gov of NY any hint of a break. But the media needs to do better. Gym Jordan is still in Congress. And trump has to surrender his DNA for possible rape. Cawthorn has multiple accusers. So, why aren't they getting the same coverage?

When CPAC erected a giant, shining stage in the shape of a Nazi SS symbol at Hyatt Hotel Orlando, it was warmly welcomed. And when neo-Nazis came to plot and play for the weekend, Hyatt happily saluted them. #ByeHyatt, forever.
