Wets Talk about Webby Witing:
Pantsers, Planners, and Plotting

Posted on June 9, 2019 by Kelli Jae BaeliJune 9, 2019
Image by Mystic Art Design from Pixabay

The argument begins like this… “When you write intricate plots, you always have to change things and rewrite and it’s hard to just write that story straight through.” “Not for me,” says the irritating pantser who goes from start to finish. You’ve probably guessed I’m not a pantser, but a planner. While I do allow creative things to take over, and do embrace that happy accident that solves a plotting problem, I am, at the heart of it all, a technical writer. I’m also whole-brain, and often my right brain and left brain are embroiled in hand-to-hand combat. While those … Continue reading →

An electrical meltdown looms: how can we avert disaster?:
Keith Harary

Posted on June 5, 2019 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 11, 2020

by Keith Harary You might find your car dying on the freeway while other vehicles around you lose control and crash. You might see the lights going out in your city, or glimpse an airplane falling out of the sky. You’ve been in a blackout before but this one is different. In critical facilities across the country, experts predict that it is only a matter of time before the electrical infrastructure holding society together undergoes catastrophic failure. According to the most recent report of the United States Congressional Commission appointed to assess the risk, published July 2017, we face the … Continue reading →

Beady Eyes in the Trees:
what the fuck is that?

Posted on June 1, 2019 by Kelli Jae BaeliJune 1, 2019

So, the other night, my wife and I were taking the dogs out and I had on my headlamp, as usual I always look around first, just in case. Not only have there been reports of coyotes trotting down our street, but we have all kinds of critters in the area, because we are surrounded by wooded areas– Possums, raccoons, foxes, armadillos….and I’m just cautious that way. I don’t like walking into a dark area, or having the dogs do that, without knowing what’s out there. Anyhoo….I was waiting, and sweeping my light around the trees, and noticed some beady … Continue reading →

Indie Authors Beware of editing in Google Docs

Posted on June 1, 2019 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 15, 2020

here’s a warning to all other Indie authors. Be aware that Google Docs might create this issue with your manuscript as well. I won’t be using that again.

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

I always get up several times after going to bed because i think of things i forgot to do. After i reach the destination of my pre-slumber task, I forget what i remembered I forgot.

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

“When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people, not characters. A character is a caricature.”

Word of the Day

habituehuh-BICH-oo-ey One who frequents a particular place, especially a place offering a specific pleasurable activity.

Favorite Quotes

Nurture an appetite for being puzzled, for being confused, indeed for being openly stupid, and that--despite what you may think--is very difficult. We all know the cliche that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. It is also true that a lot of knowledge can be a dangerous thing as well. Use your ignorance as well as your knowledge for creative means.
~ Lee C. Bollinger

I've lived in a place with snow my entire life and I've never once tried to burn snow. It took (crazy)Texans less than a week.

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???
