To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before…

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 28, 2011

I had this nightmare once, where i walked into a party (like i was walking onto a yacht, my hat strategically dipped below one eye…never mind), and at that party was every woman i had ever slept with (and yes, it was a very large gathering, thank you very much). They all turned in unison upon my arrival, with a varied collection of expressions and responses, and at that moment, i felt as if i would swallow my own teeth. It’s not as if i had a horrible track record, or made any real enemies of these women, but the … Continue reading →

Creativity, Intelligence & Depressive Realism

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliJune 30, 2012

From a Facebook post I made, a thought-provoking subject emerged. Jae Baeli : “Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.” ~ Ernest Hemingway Tina Harada likes this. Amanda Gulledge I frowned when I read that so I would feel more intelligent. Candace Lynn Breaux Is that why I am unhappy so much of the time? LOL Jae Baeli LOL. Amanda–you crack me up. Candy–probably, yes. Victoria Bard love it…so true! Sandi Partee hmmm…so does that mean I’m not intelligent? Cause I’m happy as a lark! LOL! I understand Sandi’s reply was meant lightly, but let me just … Continue reading →

But they are all moving about inside a white cardboard box. On the outside of the boxes, there is text. Each of them is also wearing a bag over their head.The text on the boxes is information about themselves. A profile.

Gynepsychology

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 26, 2011

You ever wonder who the gynecologist for famous actresses is? Can you imagine? Most men dream of even seeing a female star; this guy gets to put his fingers in their coochies, and put his face right up there in it. All in the name of medicine. Sanctioned by reputable institutions of higher learning. But they’re still men, and I can’t imagine they wouldn’t be just a little thrilled with their career choice. I’ve always been suspicious of male gynecologists, anyway. I mean, what kind of guy is in med school and decides he wants to look at vagina’s all … Continue reading →

Chicken-Proper

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 12, 2013

The tendency for some humans to be weak-minded disturbs me sometimes. So often, it is easier to embrace the easy answer of “I don’t know” over the more difficult response, “I don’t know, but I’ll try to find out.” Example: we’ve often heard the alleged conundrum “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” as if this is some mind-bender of a riddle. It’s not as inexplicable as all that. To wit: from a scientific perspective, at one time, there were no chickens, and chickens appeared in the evolutionary chain because two non-chickens mated, created a zygote (first cell) of … Continue reading →

Why not Me?

Posted on December 20, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 30, 2013

Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author, Pearl S. Buck  said, “A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them… a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create~ so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off…They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency … Continue reading →

Is This What it Takes?

Posted on December 17, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 17, 2011

Today, I worked on the 3rd book of the AKA Investigations series. I had to really think about what changed to make me go into that zone again–I’ve been trying so long to get there. One thing was that i just enjoyed a visit with my best friend who came to see me for 4 days. I hadn’t seen her in over 2 years. We had a great social time. Then, while she was here, I held my first local meeting of Kindred Ink Writers Initiative (KIWI) and got to talk a lot about writing, both in the group and … Continue reading →

Baggage (Review & Excerpt)

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 26, 2011

“I have read 2 of Baeli’s other books–Armchair Detective and Also Known as DNA, both of them in the lesbian fiction genre, so I decided i should also check out her mainstream novels–Achilles Forjan and Baggage. I started with Baggage. I have to say, Baeli is every bit as good in the mainstream genre; she’s just a solid, quality writer who never disappoints, no matter what genre she chooses to write in. In this case, the book Baggage was an engaging, heartfelt and enjoyable story–it’s a little bit family-saga, a little bit romance, a little bit suspense. But it grabbed … Continue reading →

Also Known as DNA (Reviews & Excerpt)

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 13, 2015

  REVIEWS for Also Known As DNA (Book 2 in the AKA Investigations Series) “After reading Armchair Detective,  the first in the AKA Investigations series, I didn’t think Baeli could top herself. But damned if she didn’t write another outstanding book!  She is definitely no one-hit-wonder.  Kelli Jae Baeli is able to engage a reader in a way that most writers can only dream of. Compelling, sometimes hysterically funny, snappy dialogue, 3 dimensional characters you fall in love with, and a plot that pulls you along as if you are tethered to an unforgiving rope. You are cheating yourself if … Continue reading →

Hang-outs, Sculpture & Tangents

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 8, 2013

Sitting down with my first cup of coffee. I’ve been noticing that I’m beginning to ramble and go on tangents in the morning, recently. This is a good thing, as I need to get back to writing novels. So my readers will please forgive anything that might spill out after this paragraph…it’s even more likely to happen because this is the first writing I am doing upon waking… SO. Recently someone I’ve been talking to online mentioned she was a sculptor, and also asked me where I hang out. I don’t really have a hang-out, per se. If I did, … Continue reading →

The Year of Good Shows

Posted on December 3, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 7, 2013

Since I’ve had months of downtime, part of which was experienced dealing with damage to my little tender heart, I sought refuge in all the new shows this season. Maybe it’s my subconscious way of getting primed for novel-writing again–I watch the inventions of other writers in order to encourage myself to do the same. At any rate, this is by far the Year of Good Shows.  In fact, there were so many good ones that I didn’t have room on my scheduler to watch them all. I’ll have to catch them in reruns. My recommendations, thus far: Terra Nova– … Continue reading →

The X-Factor: Try to Rap Your Head Around This

Posted on December 3, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 3, 2011

I’ve been Tweeting my responses to the X-Factor, and found that I had lots to say on the matter. So I decided to blog it. The previous entry was about the contestants and the show in general. This one is about a specific aspect which seems to be causing a stir. In the dictionary, X-Factor is defined as a hard-to-describe influence or quality; an important element with unknown consequences. Embedded in this definition are certain criteria; namely, that a contestant on the show should be able to demonstrate vocal ability, showmanship, uniqueness, and a certain charm that would endear an … Continue reading →

The X-Factor: Not Just Another Idol

Posted on December 3, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliJune 30, 2012

The types of reality shows I enjoy, are the ones where you watch people evolve. It’s the same satisfaction I get from building a character in a novel and taking them through a series of challenges so that they emerge stronger and more complex at the other end. So I tend to enjoy Dancing With the Stars and now, The X-Factor. I have been more moved by the X-Factor than I ever was with American Idol. Perhaps it’s the show format that lends itself to such intrigue and emotional investment, but whatever the reason is, I’m hooked. In general, the … Continue reading →

Letter to a Battered Heart

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

Open letter to a friend whose heart is battered…. I remember that you were there for me when I was going through a lot and had no one. So I will do my best to be here for you, now. In this life, you have to separate your mental and emotional things, your habits, your beliefs–like laundry. Whites over there, colors over there, delicates there. You can’t throw them all in together or the colors will bleed and what was once pure and white is now sullied. Some things must be kept apart, some things put together, and you always … Continue reading →

FWPB

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

Sometimes we forget the gray areas. The innocuous middle ground that is so often overlooked because it doesn’t scream at us like the extremes do. It’s why certain things are overlooked; like the independent voters, the agnostics, reputable, stable, feminine lesbians, and the middle class. It had occurred to me that sexuality holds its own equidistant region. We have often heard of that relational designation of fuck-buddy (FB), and the other one of Friends with Benefits (FWB), but I contend there is another. The one in the gray area, which has remained undefined, and perhaps under-utilized… FWPB. Friends With Partial … Continue reading →
