Ahhh

In a deconstructive place with writing.

too much done in such a short space as far as book design, torrent making, uploading, promoting and shit.

Hit a brick wall walking back into Coffee and Sugar.

No lack of creativity. I can see everything playing in my mind.

The faucet is broken.

Nothing spilling onto the paper.

Break.

Help

I am so very tired.

Coffee doesn't work like it used to.

I want to stop.

But I can't.

I am a serial writer.

This has to have an end.

Excerpt: Heaven is Full of Arseholes (Act I)



The Headmaster seemed to address little concern to The Father’s plea. His words pulled on her empathetic string with the strength of a grain of sand holding back a hurricane. His look of desperation; which welled in his widening eyes, did little to erode her mount of humiliation that was invisible under the lathered mould of her unstrained expression; that sticks and stones stare of a trained professional that she wore like her favourite blouse. 

Excerpt - HEAVEN IS FULL OF ARSEHOLES  ₢2013 C. Sean McGee


The above is an excerpt from the short story I am writing entitled Heaven is Full of Arseholes, a fractal take on agape (unconditional love). I have taken time off from finishing the second half of Coffee and Sugar to prepare Utopian Circus for its March 1 launch as a free eBook and also in paperback print format.

This is common for me, to stop at the halfway point and write a 8-10,000 word short story just because my focus requires it.

2 days of writing so far on this story and the Act I is completed. Should finish Act II & III before the end of February. It will be ready for free download as epub, mobi and pdf before March 1.

On: Debunking Popular Coined Expressions

All Children are Miracles

This should be looked at in two ways: 1) in regards to the nature of things
                                                          2) as a return on investment

1) The Nature of Things -

To propose all life as a miracle is to assume that the concept of conception through to carrying, developing and eventually birthing a child is inherently dangerous, more so perilous to the life of the carrier.

All children are miracles means that every pregnancy is expected to fail and every birth is a rare undiagnosed condition quite rightly worthy of more than brief light celebration. This type of event should be in print. It shouldn't be whispered but yelled in awe, painted in the eardrums of anyone who will listen, for everyone needs to hear, "we defied nature once again, another child was born".

With this in mind; that all children are miracles, if some poor lady was to lose her infant during carriage or during labour the death of that child; being expected, would not be a tragedy but instead a repeated insignificant event. In fact, in many cases (as humans attribute their cerebral reward in the event of expectation), the carrier would in fact feel relieved that the outcome she had planned came true, that the infant did not live full term or in the case of death during labour, that the thrill was kept until the final moment.

To say that all children are miracles is to say that the death of your child is not a tragedy. It is normal.

2) A Return on Investment -

In the nature of industry, life has been proposed through the guise of science to separate itself from the timely narcissus of mother nature. This topic is proposed and storied in the CITY trilogy, highlighting mankind's disconnection from nature and its abandon of empathy and of course the end effect of this probable situation.
One of the main themes expressed is the fashion of cesarean section births globally, a situation which is at its worst in the fashion conscious and easily manipulated, poorly educated Brazilian population where up to 90% of births occur through C-Section, a stark contrast to the 7% proposed by WHO for acceptable levels. This current dilemma highlights the corporatised manipulation of well intentioned science to industrialise birth, further separating the mother from her child with nature being removed from the equation entirely (actually nature is proposed as a criminal in this state) with Industry key in the centre.

So in the second example we will look at the all children are miracles in an Industrial climate. This for the moment is still preposterous idea and leaves us normalising the tragedies associated with birth and unexpected incidents during pregnancy  Though, there has been an expected increase in the amount of still born children, missacrriages and hemorrhages in recent years and mainly in heavily industrialised cities, an effect one could say of exposure to an unnatural environment; man's desire to manipulate the harmonics of nature to sing his own song and map the stars to construct his own universe, all controlled and contained in the rule of math outlined in the tongues of gods. One can point their finger in any direction, fuels, buzzing electricity grids, mobile phones, aspartame, whey protein, whatever your conspiring mind may trinkle upon.

Regardless, it can be said that in an Industrialised world, infant death is becoming more common but still, when a child is born in the womb, we fear the dangers of industry but we still expect the child to be born unharmed, this is why the tragedy has its emotional resonance.

So, let's be certain here.... for now. Children are not miracles.

Intermissions

So it is decided, not by myself, but of greater wisdom defined by my sub conscious.

After completing the design of Utopian Circus (which is in the final phase), instead of returning immediately to    continue the adventures of Joao in Coffee and Sugar, I will take some time off; not to rest but to work on a short story that is burning my cerebral cortex called 'Heaven is Full of Arseholes'.

This is a sweet(ish) story of unconditional love between a distraught father and his son who causes a car crash that kills his young daughter, his loving wife and eventually he and his son.

The philosophy explored in this story will be Agape from a less human perspective.

Most theodolites assume in their righteous stance that Agape (unconditional love) is that of the love between man and god. I propose in this story through examples of Fractal Prose that Agape is expressed as the love of god for man and not vice versa & thus its expressions is repeated countless in nature as a father's love for his son, a conscious for its sub conscious, the rider to the horse and so on. We will explore the first example in this novel and show how regardless what horrible wrongs man can do, he is welcome in heaven.

Bound to offend my theological friends, maybe because I understand the nature of a god more than they and yet i maintain religious abstinence.

This should be completed quite quickly. I intend to write several short stories understanding the fractal nature of the universe and conceptional love. No working title yet.

Utopian Circus Update



A frantic morning, waking up bright and early despite my conscious compass pointing north back at my pillow. The design is draining me, killing me. I am waking up destroyed every day and after every attempt finding some reason to start from scratch again and again. I am determined to see this through.

It really puts your whole piece in perspective when you construct not just the emotive right side of the project but you actually logicalise your brain and assemble the infrastructure and mechanics of the interior design and cover art aside from throwing around ideas in your free floating cerebral canvas.

The project is entirely mine. And through the frustration, the psychotic rages ad tear driven hissy fits trying to learn advanced graphic design in two minutes, I still kept my head, kept zero:one rationale as Marcos or The behemoth would have me put it and I think the end result is pretty good for someone with no technical suave   taking initiative and giving it a go.

Writing stories is so much more enjoyable than this. The new grey hairs in my goatee can attest to this.

Music for editing a book

Music that is inflating me through the editing process of Utopian Circus as I re-do the layout over and over and over and slowly grow deaf. I previously expressed the albums that drove me through the writing process so we will see now my drug while i sit entrenched in InDesign getting the layout and artwork done, completely learning everything as i stumble along out of pure bankrupting necessity.

Math: Why humans and ideology are stupid

Be careful of sides and belonging and well, it doesn't matter which side of the plane you are sitting, there is still only one direction and sway as much as you want, lean all the way to the left or right, but the vehicle is heavier than your ideals and will hold its perpetuation whilst in the air, you are bargained into arguing over whose side has the more distinct view.

I give one warning though, in the play of numbers and most certainly the power of statistics.

one of the most common statistical arguments from the left; one which sound abhorrent and provoking is the statistics relating to thge distribution of wealth.

This argument states that 99% of wealth is situated in the hands of 1% of the population. This sounds catastrophic and makes me feel scorned and a little bit less responsible for my compounding guilt for my increasing credit appendage. I and we imagine 5 or 6 slimy men in fancy suits smoking fine cigars, maybe killing a hooker or two. hey, we all saw Eyes Wide Shut, we know its what the 1% do to get it up.

Now when one applies imple math to this statistic, one will see that in fact 99% of the world's wealth is in the hands of 1% of the population, 700 million people.

Hmmmmmmm.... Not quite as affecting is it?

That 700 million. that's twice the size of The US, six times the size of Brazil and well, 400 times the size of Australia. That 1%, that's you, me and a whole hell of a lot of other people.

But it does look fancy on signs.

This was not a political stance or a fiscal fist. Just an example of how math is used to dumben your sight and have you participate as an angried peacock waving your moral feathers.

Cerebral Activity

Reason 1 for appreciating the gym: The walk from the gym to my car, the infinity moment where new book ideas spring into mind.

Before finishing Coffee and Sugar (after Utopian Circus launch) I will be writing a short story called: 

"Heaven's Full of Arseholes" - a beautiful account of unconditional love or Agape from a revolutionary perspective.

This short story will join others to make a collection of works called : FRACTALS - The Universe in Shortened Prose

On human evolution, writing books and not blogs and free stuff

In note, I haven't given any time to blogging per se, mainly due to the fact that i am writing and really don't take any breaks in between writing books.

For this reason, my philosophical outpourings, or random understandings are left attended to my students and the characters in my stories.

Normally I would have some wise underpinning to lace upon you that i would not doubt disbelieve in the next breath as the way thought is, organic, in flux; a river of emotive deceit.

So, i admit the title to my blog is rather deceptive. Short stories, poetry and philosophy. You stumbled upon here expecting so much more than what my absence could scrape together like a drunk scratching at his pockets as the drink before him is pulled further from his thirsting lips; in your case, your hungering want, your conscious mouth agape, waiting with the patience of a screaming child by its mother's breast.

Sorry. I don't spend any time writing typical blog writing because well, I am busy writing novels, teaching obsessively, being an adoring and hopefully adores husband, loving and digging my fingers firmly into the dough of my children's creative upbringing, attending to the destructive necessity of my 2 outdoor dogs, attending to the hoppity want of my indoor dog, meeting the emotional and grooming needs of my Persian whilst attending to the needs of the other 3 cats whilst exercising 6 days a week at the gym and running 5-10kms with the dogs to tire their destructive want, much like the want of my young daughter which leaves me with one thought for you; something that befell my reason, the evolution of human as animal.

Infant  -   Cat    (does very little except eat, sleep and poop. Decides to wake up and play at completely inappropriate times to your sleep schedule. Adores your love, when it wants it)

Toddler - Dog  (Can understand basic commands, may need to be repeated many times. If left to its own devices, will destroy everything within reach. Must exercise daily)

Teenager - Sheep (moves in groups and spends its times in empty lots or carparks just 'kick it'. Also has a tendency for 'grass')

Adult  -  Cow (moves only when prodded. Crams itself into trains every morning and every eve so that it can sit stupidly behind a desk where its creative output is milked, packaged, branded and sold offshore. On weekends it appreciates an open field where it chooses to sit in the one spot and do little else. Its freedom is a cage as its creativity; having been milked, offers him little resource in what to do with said freedom, thus he is a bigger meaner version of infant)

So, if you want philosophy and rhyming, two things big kids love; read my books. The digital versions are free. The paperbacks cost money because they are TANGIBLE. At least this is my thinking.

Buy my books on Amazon here - Kindle and Paperback - A Rising Fall

Buy A Rising Fall Paperback here - Worldwide UPS delivery - US$15

Download eBook for FREE here from Smashwords - A Rising Fall

Download Torrent via The Pirate Bay - Book and Album - A Rising Fall

So there you go, you want philosophy, story, rhyme and more, read the book. Buy it or download it free.
It's only complicated if you make it so.
See you in my imagination.

On Editing Books


Editing is (un)oficially complete for Utopian Circus.
Next prepare the file in Sigil for eReaders & finish eBook art before starting paperback layout. 

Then Convert files to epub then read in hindsight and find more key errors. I find this is always the way the human sees through the last threads of obscurity, looking over one's shoulder. With A Rising fall I found a dozen grammar issues that i overlooked and a key verb that i left out. This lived in the print edition that i self financed. Gives it more character. The key here is story telling, not grammar check.

If you would like good grammar, hire me to be your English teacher. If you want to be affected, read my book and allow me to tell you a story.

But for the sake of not having to provide missing words on a post it with every book, tricking the brain into thinking the product is final and viewing through a tablet is the best way to come across any spelling or grammar issues. Only yesterday I opened A Rising Fall paperback to a page and the first word my eyes saw was the word 'begot' as opposed to 'begat'. The first word i saw. not the first i focused on but literally the first inch of blank that scraped my eye was this mistake. It's the flaws that make the brain and any art and beauty marvelous. 

The POD editions on Amazon and Create Space are perfect. But you just know that, that's not perfect, not for me.

This is homemade publishing and editing at its most unrefined but doable.


Anyway, here are some quotes from Utopian Circus that I amassed during the eiting process:



UTOPIAN CIRCUS (MARCH 2013 RELEASE)

“Without a gauge to define a limit, how can I possibly extend my reach? Without a defined wrong, how can I possibly determine what is right? And without applause, how do I know when to stop?"
“Is death not enough of a gauge?” 

“Life is not enough of a reward” 


His touch made her desire him and her desire made her feel lonely and her loneliness only made her want him to touch her more.

I am an ocean away from the sea of content.

As long as he stayed modest in mind; he would sink and drown in a river of stupendous simplicity. 

It was the service of ideals that served as ideal.

The will of one is worth the ill of many.

One and many are but the same number in the division of one’s heart. The loss of one, is no less than the loss many.






Utopian Circus will be released digital for free in March 2013
Print versions will be available through Amazon & Create Space in June 2013

Artwork: Utopian Circus

I've been busy. 28013 means finishing Coffee and Sugar and editing and releasing Utopian Circus (book 2 in the CITY trilogy) and Coffee and Sugar; March and June respectively.

My days are dedicated to teaching English here in São Paulo and writing in between classes. Today was very productive, writing from 8am-1pm. Managed to drop right back in the flow and write and very good 5,000 words. Very productive and a great feeling to be back writing after a one week break promoting A Rising Fall and doing the digital launch of the eBook version.

My nights are balancing the dogs, the cats and the kids and now working on the artwork and editing of Utopian Circus. For anyone who has never written an album or a book, editing is a painful and horrible process of reading the same lines over and over until you can bear it no more, then and only then, have you just begun.

Below is the running artwork for Utopian Circus which should be released digitally in March 2013, once again for free through The Pirate Bay, Smashwords, Scribd, Rapidfire, Rapidgator and more sources and of course there will be a US$1 copy available on Amazon Kindle for those kind souls that want to support my art fiscally.

Until then, this is the running artwork. White on black this time (A Rising Fall - pictured below - was black on white). Makes me wonder where i go for iCannibal the third book in the trilogy; transperancy on grey maybe

Extract: Preparing The Nervous Lady's coffee (₢2013 Coffee and Sugar)

He dressed himself in her naivety and gazed through her eyes, touching every grain of coffee as his heart touched upon every moment of sorrow that she carried deep in her gut and he looked to, with expecting eyes at every pair of feet that shuffled about on the broken cement outside the window where she sat, waiting for a pair of shiny black loafers with a small silver buckle over the toes to walk past the window, stop in front of the entrance and turn on a five cent piece; like a soldier’s procession, and move into the store where she would follow the feet until they stood upon the tail of her own shadow and as he followed her eyes up the length of the man’s trousers, up to his chest, his heart exploded with hers and her eyes locked upon his and heaven swam at her breast and at this very moment, his fingers picked at each grain of sugar and spent them into the bitter black coffee below and as he pulled himself from his delusion; from her bitter sweet life, Joao calmly watched The Nervous Lady sitting in her chair watching the passage of feet on the broken cement as she had done for the last eight years, seven months and eleven days; waiting for chance to bring love back into her life, and as he watched her, his hands slowly turned the cup back and forth as if he were gently trying to start a fire with a stick and some brush, turning his hands like one of Shakespeare’s witches boiling her brew, until the tiny individual grains of sugar slowly sank into the bitter coffee and found their places, putting themselves were they needed most to be and with a single breath, it was done.

(Extract - Coffee and Sugar ₢2013 C.Sean McGee)

First bit of writing for 2013. Extract from my latest novel that I am working on called Coffee and Sugar. One very long sentence. In this scene, Joao is pouring a coffee for The Nervous Lady, picking grain by grain of coffee and sugar, imagining her bitter memories and her sweet rewards.

Next book - as yet untitled

As you know I am 50% through my third book entitled Coffee and Sugar.
it is a tale about a young naive country boy who moves to a slum in the city with his violent drunken evangelist preacher father and falls in love with a prostitute named Eve.
This is the story of Joao and his only love, making coffee with sugar.


As always, my mind is fixed on my next project. This one will be very personal. I like to call it a highly fictional auto biography.

It will tell a story of unconditional love told in first person accounts and third person narrative by Sean, a manic depressive writer with a love affair for a needle and his mother, who struggles to deal with her emaciating son.

This book will be inspired by 2 albums, representing the 2 states of the character Sean;




STRAPPING YOUNG LAD - CITY  (MANIC STATE)



Strapping Young Lad - Detox (official Video)


GRACE - JEFF BUCKLEY (DEPRESSIVE STATE)




Jeff Buckley - So Real

Blurbs

don't judge a book by it's cover.

So the rule says, but most certainly buy a book by its cover and if not that, then its blurb.

It has been said that the blurb for a writer is more important than their story, why?

because from a marketing perspective, it doesn't matter if your work is utter shit as long as the reader discovers after the purchase. therefore the reader will judge your work on your blurb, 3 lines that entice them to purchase and as long as the sales come in, the reviews will mirror.

Look at iBooks, Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble... Lots of predictable artwork and shining blurbs encasing mediocre experiences for the reader. Very few surprises.

A consumer buys a blurb and their expectation i that the story will greatly reflect the 3 lines they had subscribed to.

That kind of sucks. But oh well. I continue without blurbs and without sales.

Love as one, live as you love
