Good Writers Aren’t Good Accidentally

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on April 22, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 4, 2017

I received another message from a reader who wanted to know when the third book in the Rain Falls series would be available. And another reader who wanted to know when the 6th on the AKA Investigations series would be out. Though certain delays like my recent relocation to another country and health issues have slowed me down, I sometimes feel like readers think what we do is like making dinner. Granted, I wrote Rain Falls (my first bestseller!) and the sequel, In Absentia fairly quickly; and the last three in the AKA series were produced faster than usual. But … Continue reading →

Fiction Writes Me

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on April 10, 2014 by Kelli Jae BaeliSeptember 8, 2017

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"It's no longer about Trump. It's about the GOP. It's one thing to be mentally ill and a sociopath, it's another to just be fucking power-hungry, greedy, and selfish. I LOATHE them all."

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

Writing is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to those who have none. ~ Jules Renard

Word of the Day

strafingSTRAY-fing To attack - ground troops or installations - by airplanes with machine-gun fire. Slang. to reprimand viciously.

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

Sure hope someone creates an alternative to Twitter, because it's now well and truly fucked with Elon Musk at the helm.
