Meme Monday 8 – Guidelines
09/22/2014 Leave a comment
Another week, another feeling that I can’t get some fiction together and up on the blog. I may have bitten off more than I could chew! I had hoped I was building up to this, but maybe I wasn’t ready, maybe I need to reorganize and prioritize differently. Probably.
We posted on Comparative Geeks as well that we’re going to try to post a little less there – I’m hoping I can translate that into some more fiction blogging here, and keep up my weekly submissions over on Sourcerer as well. That’s a lot of writing still, and I don’t think cutting one post over on Comparative Geeks will hurt – instead, I hope it will help.
As to the meme, I always felt like the whole “more like guidelines” thing should be one… when I started looking it up a while back, I found it WAS a “standard” meme, and this is the standard picture for it. So there you go!
Broken Bells – After the Disco Concert Review

The finale of my first music series over on Sourcerer! These were a ton of fun to write, so I hope you’ve enjoyed them too. Fun to dip my toes into writing about something I know so little about!
Last week I tried to talk through some of why I like the Broken Bells. They’re my favorite band; I hope some enthusiasm showed through! But I wanted to give a further look, to give a review of the concert I went to, to let you know where you can find the Broken Bells.
Real photo – just not a real good photo!
This is me finishing up my first series of music posts, which have been vaguely connecting through veins of me sharing some of my favorite bands, and talking about how I interact with and find music. Two sides of the same coin, since one of the best ways to find music is through recommendations, and, once recommended, through sampling the music yourself. Hopefully you’ve found someone new or something you like through my writing, because I know your comments and recommendations have helped me find some…

My Favorite Band – The Broken Bells

The last two of my music series on Sourcerer were on the Broken Bells – my favorite band! Will share those two posts today and tomorrow here!
I’ve been holding off on writing much about my favorite band. I had a reason. I was seeing them in concert. I figured this would give me some insight, something new and interesting and different to talk about. And I wasn’t wrong.
If you were to ask me who my favorite band is, I might have to think a bit. There are bands I’ve loved for a long time. Bands that have a large amount of good content, that keep being good. But really, if I were forced to answer, I would have to go with the Broken Bells. And maybe, just maybe, some of the hesitation also has to do with the fact that, when I name them, people tend not to know who the heck I’m talking about.
The Broken Bells are the duo of two music creators known for their other work. One is James Mercer, lead singer…

It’s been a busy week, but hey, check out some of the updates to the site if you have a minute – especially my new Features page!
The above phrase popped into my head (though I suppose it’s originally a bit longer), and it was such a great moment… a really simple character trying to tell a complex story, trying to create conversation, to break the ice, to ease the tension. And the best he got was that the sky was blue…
Hope it’s all blue skies for you!
