Toward the Light:
Where my writing is going

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 21, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 10, 2020

I was reworking the cover for In Absentia (Rain Falls series #2), which I released fairly quickly after Rain Falls, and it sort of fell through the cracks like an orphan. Someone mentioned that I had a bunch of new reviews on it. I didn’t know. Last I looked, I only had 2 on that book… Anyway, I was pleased to see that they were all really good: 4 and 5 stars, which is always a joy, and profoundly validating. But more than that, the readers/reviewers were saying things that reflected what I had talked about with this series. I … Continue reading →

The Year of Good Shows

Kelli Jae Baeli 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

Kelli Jae Baeli 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

Kelli Jae Baeli 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 →

The Kill of Rights

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 25, 2009 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

The Recurrent Amnesia about Separation of Church & State excerpt from Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology by Kelli Jae Baeli   “Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason.” ~ President Barack Obama CLEARLY, THE FOUNDING FATHERS intended for religion to remain separate from government, though modern Americans continue to forget about this, or twist it to their own purposes. The Intention of our Founders, and United States Constitution are clear about this matter, yet there … Continue reading →

The A.I. of Theists:

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on November 11, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 3, 2013

(Or, “Who’s the Pinhead, Now, O’Reilly?”) [Excerpt from my book, Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of God Cosmology] THE ARGUMENTS GIVEN BY many theists, especially those of the fundamentalist variety, can be referred to quite accurately as A.I.–Artificial Intelligence, AKA Arrogant Ignorance. Poster boy for this concept? Bill O’ Reilly. On a segment of his show, O’Reilly had Richard Dawkins as a guest, but Dawkins was not treated as such. In his usual, haughty, overbearing, arrogant manner, O’Bully made sure that Dawkins never had a fair opportunity to respond, and it was blatantly apparent that Bill-O had absolutely zero respect … Continue reading →

It’s Not Paranoia if….

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on November 26, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliNovember 26, 2007

There’s always a nut out there who thinks the whole world is out to get them. But as the saying goes, it’s not paranoia if they really are after you. In my recent quest to overhaul my mental, physical, spiritual, emotional health, i have done tons of research, and have come to several disquieting solutions that sound rather paranoid when i say them aloud to anyone else. But i truly believe in these conclusions i have drawn, and for whatever it’s worth, i mention them here, in case they strike a cord with someone else who is also searching for … Continue reading →

Hygienic Hijinks

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on December 30, 2003 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 30, 2003

I saw a few commercials about it, and found myself warming to the idea. But not so long ago, I thought it was the most bizarre practice I’d ever heard of. I was afraid to visit a European country for fear I would be forced to take part in this cleansing ritual. Now, I’m a big proponent of cleanliness, but there are some concepts that are foreign to me. I just didn’t think I could ever get used to the idea of sitting on a toilet and having my genitals accosted by a stream of water. By now I guess … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"I don't have a spatula big enough to turn that shit-patty over."

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

“Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
