Awkward.

Posted on March 28, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

Saturday, I was to meet this woman at Metropolis (for the first time). When I stepped inside, a woman waiting at the counter turned, smiled at me and came toward me, as i said, “Rhonda?” (Not just as a courtesy, but because I couldn’t believe this was her. She didn’t look like her photo). But she said “yes” and shook my hand. We chatted– awkward small talk– as I was trying to get over the fact that she was NOTHING like I thought she’d be. And she was tall and lanky and her voice was odd. Too low. She even looked … Continue reading →

Two Alarm Fires, No Waiting

Posted on March 21, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliJanuary 19, 2014

Around 1 a.m., I had just gotten home from an evening out, and my friend Em called. While we were chatting, a VERY LOUD alarm went off. INSIDE MY APT….Let me just say, I HATE loud noises. Especially ones that feel like they are shredding my eardrums. I tracked the source to a big casing on the wall above a filing cabinet.  I pulled the barstool over, climbed up, and popped the casing off, but saw no battery. Then i realized it was the doorbell. So my attention went to the wall plate six inches to the left. It had a … Continue reading →

Projection

Posted on March 13, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 13, 2010

My eyes slid open at midnight, my attention on the projection clock image on the ceiling over my bed. 12:00. In the darkness, I watched it until it changed to –12:01. And then tears rolled down both checks and pooled at my temples. I closed my eyes again.

My Author Bio

Posted on March 11, 2010 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 11, 2013

(written by Redacted Friend) Baeli was born to spin a yarn. The daughter of a professional musician, she arrived in Wichita and began her journey with a song in her heart and a plethora of passion erupting from her pen. This love of lyrics, prose and poetry was just the simple seed of what would grow into a wordsmith’s obsession with the creation of multifarious characters and storylines that fork with dual plot lines into romance and intrigue. Oklahoma, Arkansas and Colorado are just a few locales that surface in Baeli’s novels as these places are ones she drank in … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"I don't want to put all my eggs in that basket, because they'll all get broken, and then I won't have any eggs, and I also need that basket to GO TO HELL IN."

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)

Quotes for Writers

“One thing that helps is to give myself permission to write badly. I tell myself that I’m going to do my five or 10 pages no matter what, and that I can always tear them up the following morning if I want. I’ll have lost nothing—writing and tearing up five pages would leave me no further behind than if I took the day off.”

Word of the Day

sine qua non sin-ih-kwah-NON; -NOHN; sy-nih-kway noun: An essential condition or element; an indispensable thing.

Favorite Quotes

“No," I replied testily. "I'm pretty sure 'digital' is Latin for 'fingeral,' so finger cancer equals digital cancer. This is all basic anatomy, Dr. Roland." Then Dr. Roland told me that he thought I was overreacting, and that "fingeral" wasn't even a real word. Then I told him that I thought he was underreacting, probably because he's embarrassed that he doesn't know how Latin works. Then he claimed that "underreacating" isn't a word either. The man has a terrible bedside manner.” ~ Jenny Lawson, Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir

Best damn question out there. https://twitter.com/wagatwe/status/1363500808151523331

Wagatwe Wanjuki 🇰🇪 🇧🇸@wagatwe

Imagine if colleges said, "hey if your kid comes to our school, they have a 20-50% chance of being shot. We could reduce it but don't feel like it."

Would you be cool with that???

So why are we cool with it when it's sexual violence???
