Alex and The Gruff

Alex and The Gruff - the new name for the project I am working on.

This is the story of a polite and well mannered young boy named Alex who; after being abducted by a paedophile, develops an incredible bond with an angry and foul mouthed toy called Gruff who teaches young Alex how to find his voice.

The current writing is remarkably different. A lot more restrained and in a sense, creepier.

Unfortunately it won't be part of The Free Art Collection. Hopefully I can sell this story and try to make some sort of career out of this story telling thing.

The following free art project will be based on an album i loved as a teenager by a Swedish band called OPETH:

Rock Book volume III: Still Life

Music to Inspire You


Just a little something to tide you over.

I am writing and the new book is a different experience.
It will be some time until this story is with you. Hopefully with a publisher.

I do feel guilty for not giviing you anything. Normally i would be completing a new story by now and being ready to upload but alas, I am on a different journey for the next couple of months.

So until then, i will be posting some music from a dear friend of mine Adam J Keane.

These tracks were the inspiration for COFFEE AND SUGAR
This is the B-Tools - a heavier and rockier version of ome cool Beatles songs.

Update

my writing has evolved on this new book. I wish i could shre it, but everything in its own time. it's a very dry and prlonged experience, much like a hangover and its so different to my usual manic depressive hyperbole. That said, I feel like i have an itch under my skin that i can't find and it's always there, even when it isn't. It's an odd journey that nobody would dare lend an ear to; writing about a paedophile.

Update

I have a weird feeling after writing the first chapter for my new novel.

I don't usually feel this self loathing at the start of a new project. This story though is different. I'm not sure if i am writing out of voice though. I tried consciously i guess to write more subtly but reading back on what i wrote, I feel unsettled and debatable.

I will re-write everything tomorrow.

This project will not be released officially. It will be for sale to agents and publishers.

I will though be emailing requested copies direct.

So this next project will be something very dark. I will be dealing with a few demons from my childhood and a few pleasures and having them dance together.

This story will be to sell to agents. i will give it one year in the hands of agents before I release it for free as part of the Free Art Catalogue.

I imagine it will be 3 months or so to write.

I will immeidately commence another Free Art project following.

A few more short stories followed by a couple of longer pieces and of course, the conclusion i have been avoiding or at least, perfecting and bettering my wiritng to conduce; iCannibal (CITY b00k111)

Dark Side of The Moon Update

Tonight finishing chapter 2 in Rock Book Volume II: Dark Side of the Moon.

"Breathe" hopefully should be finished and uploaded tonight. I have one hour of effective writing sitting in my car beside a shitty subway and my student's apartment, being beeged for money whilst blindly searching for the right keys to strike.

I am not sure how the chapters evolve really so it's hard to say for sure if it wll be complated at all. I only know it is written when it is as such.

I am though tiring very quickly of listening to this track on loop.

What will drive me insane is next, listening and writing to On The Run.

More Truth

God these waves of disturbance that swell in my mind.

This live writing causes me so much concern. It seems like the kind of an idea that would have a well intentioned therapist saying  "do you really think this is a good idea?"

And I  don't know. It was just an idea. And nobody gets to sift through these grains except for me.
What you get is an ocean.
What I am left with is the drift.
And this is not something I would encourage anyone to do.

And I would like to dustance myself from the word writer.
Storyteller i think will suffice.

One of my themes in Dark Side of the Moon is new age therapy, spiritual healing, zen therapy, yoga & self help gurus. So if i didn't alienate everyone with my last books, this should see my name crossed off a few more dinner invitations.

I started writing Rock Book Volume II: Dark Side of the Moon today and chapter zero: Speak to Me is now live at the LoungeWindow.

ROCK BOOK VOLUME II: Dark Side of the Moon

Set to the lyrics and music of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, this is the story of theodore the disenfranchised rabbit; working on the moon to dig a hole from one side to the other to let the sun through; playing in a mundane rock band and having sex rampantly but without much zest.

Boys from the County Hell excerpt

Shane focused and cleared his mind. They had escaped from the evil Paul McCartney and the bloodthirsty son of god; Johnny fucking Cash and they were sitting in an old pub in New York City and beside them, as he tried to think of the song he had to sing, the boys in the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay and the bells were ringing out for judgment day.

Stalker's Lens


STALKER LENS APRIL 26 2013
BedroomWindow


So I have had an idea and there is no reason why it couldn't function.

I intend to use jazz principles to my writing for my next challenge, using what jazz drummer Marco Minnemann describes as 'Interdependence'

In his concept, he can allow his limbs to function independently working on unique time signatures, more or less; how he puts it, no different than walking and talking at the same time.

I used his instructional video as inspiration during Utopian Circus writing. It helped me to focus on the story whilst also running my business, developing a new psychology for language teaching and delivering my classes and being a father to my daughter, a husband to my then pregnant wife and deadweight at the end of my dogs' leashes & of course the emotional fool for my 4 cats and full time groomer of my Persian Huxley.

I utilised Minnemann's concept of lateralising the mind and I applied a focus principle which Marcos uses in A Rising Fall so that my life was (and still is today), 100% scheduled and divided into one hour blocks where I could apply 100% focus and emotional deliverance to whatever I might be doing. The result in this meant my emotional reserves didn't interfere with each other, that i could attain a complete level of disarray for the writing periods whilst being manic and mildly yet effectively delusional for my students, all business like and dull for business, passionate and considerate with my wife and friggin insane with my girl.

I am not here to sell the concept of blocking or scheduling, I am though just giving some background on the next challenge. As I mentioned in a previous rant, the next project will be a full 90k word piece that intend to use to sell to agents and publishers.

I did though enjoy the strangeness of this Live Writing Experience, releasing every chapter as I write and being completely exposed and vulnerable to you as you read along. It was emotionally challenging in the first few days but i pushed through that and now am entering the last two chapters before an official digital and paperback release.

For the next challenge I will write two novels at the same time and the concurrent novel will also be a Live Writing Experience. The process will be slower as I am teaching a lot more now to save to move to the countryside and that limited time will now be divided between 2 mindsets.

This will be a complete head fuck.

The next Stalker Story will be based on 3 old songs by Bjork; those being, Human Behaviour, Army of Me and Oh so Quiet. The story will be about a tiny mouse which accidentally explodes distant galaxies every time she falls in love.

And the other project.... is a secret.

Take Risk and Take Care,

I saw Steven wilson and band on their last tour for Grace for Drowning. Actally this show was what got me out of my decade of artistic procrastination and made me start writing A Rising Fall and every book since. I stated writing the day after the show. If you don't know his work, please watch, listen and be affected. He is an amazing songwriter with an incredible band of superlative musicians. 

This is an amazing live rendition of The Watchmaker,from his latest masterpiece; The Raven that Refused to Sing (and other short stories)

New Project

So last night my brain was running through the loose story for my next project.

As i mentioned, it will be sold to agents for 12 months, giving plenty of time for frustration to build enough for me to release it for free. My wife and daughter have given me an 18 month deadline knnowing i get excited and release things earlier than intended. So i set my bar for 18 months, which means in 12 it will be released with the Free Art Collection.

The story will be more delicate than my last peices; though even as i say that i feel a warm tingle in th eback of my neck which is perversion and honesty saying 'just tell it as you see it not how others would expect it to be told'.

This story though will be delve into a theme that has become the flag for our family recebntly which is natural birth, home birth and the effect of digital industrialisation, this being the sudden inexplicable rise of unwanted C -Sectoin births worldwide and more notably here in Sao Paulo, the leader in the world with over 97% births via C-Section in private hospitals and 70% in public hospitals and most of these, wunwarrarnted, unsolicited and amount to corporal rape.

This will be the fundamental theme running thorugh my next book and will also look at one of my greatest fears as a father or two; is my older child were to accidentally suffcoate my infant son in her revel and game. This book will look at a family falling apart after such and incident and a father pulling at the threads of unconditional love with his daughter as they struggle alone to deal with what happened.

I will though as i write this book, be posting slight teasers thorughout the writing process. HOnestly i hope agents don't bite so i can just give it away again.

“Never a day had ever been sad if in ever a day, a drink had been had” 

-  Seamus the Drunken Leprechaun.

The Boy from the County Hell excerpt ₢2013 C. Sean McGee

News

The Boy from the County Hell is coming along at its own pace. I really expected this to be a quick 10,000 word pieve like Christine or HIFOA but we are already nearing 21,000 words and nearing I guess 70% of the story. I am currently writing the scene for Boat Train and will commence London Calling as the lead in to the final chapters When the Man Comes Around and Summer in Siam.

I know that for some of you this makes no sense bu the idea of this book is to link several songs from The Pogues, the Clash, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash. Chapter 5 which went live yesterday was a cover of the song Red Right Hand by Nick Cave; a very dark and sexy song, irnoically written and inspired by Sao Paulo as most of my work is, or at least the seedier perspective of my work.

So BFCH should come in around 30,000 words and I expect 2 weeks maximum until it is launched digitally. There have been some major changes to the first few chapters since going live, so the end read will be much diiferent to the live perspective.

This will though be my last Free Art ebook for a few months at least.
I intend to do a secret project that has been lingering in my mind for some months lately, a grand fear that burdens in the back of my mind. I intend to try  and sell this novel to agents once more and take to the feather dance. I will though; once i begin shopping this project, commence or at leqast prepare to commence iCannibal and finish the CITY Trilogy once and for all.

I feel terrible for not being able to feed you more free art. It's irresponsible. But I have to do this, to try and get a publisher and try and make some money out of writing.

Chapter 3 is now live at LoungeWindow




As I mentioned, this live writing experience is an odd experience and I left my slump this morning when writing the Red Right Hand chapter which will be live in ocming days. I found my rhythm again and disposed of the misery stain that shrouded my conscious mind the past day or two.

I have also made some story adjustments which you will see in the final completed novel. This is the other unique part of stalking live is that when you read the final piece, it should and will have a far greater effect, a more complete feel and the strory will have changed somewhat, as in the first chapter; it has.

I normally go into a mild to severe depression with the release of every book. I use the word despression beacuse I can't think of suitable substantive that will suffice. I don't get sad to say as much as it feels like I am coming down off a drug or can feel one eerily coming on and the thoughts of a rope around my neck seem consoling.It's unfortunate but it's how i feel. What's more unfortunate is this little endeavour to release a book chapter by chapter so that every day I have these feelings and engross myself in these thoughts and I hate myself now more than I ever have and all of teh intensities of writing a story are so much more peverse now that it is live and living as i write it. There is no hiding in any of this and i hope i come through it ok, that I can continue this.

LoungeWindow - The Boy from County Hell - Chapter One Uploaded

I have decided to make this book more interactive (based on the fact that i have no patience).

The LoungeWindow will now serve a more practical and unqiue purpose in that I will be uploading chapter by chapter of my new book The Boy from the County Hell (or how Shane stopped the apocalypse) as I write it.

This is only for Stalkers and will only be accessed through the LoungeWindow.

As such I have removed the previous post of Chapter Zero from the BedroomWindow

When the book is finsihed, like most of my work, I imagine there will be one or two mild adjustments. There are never many. I don't loike to recount my work. A thing said is a thing said. An apology doesn't make it undone. I know every writer loves this appraoch. To refine something over and over and over until it is devoid of original intent. I will, when this creative splurge wanes, go back and re-edit the books to fix some spelling here or there but this has never been any great concern of mine. A lot fo beautiful teethed humans have very little interest etched upon their tongues and thus I justify my laziness and lack of concentration by defining it as charm.

but that said, the version of BFCH as you follow on LoungeWindow may be different in the print version. I did this on A Rising Fall; going back to make several large changes but havent on any peice since and really i don't imagine on any to come. I write only what i see and imagine. If it's wrong in any way, then its because i scribed not what i saw and only what i expected others wanted to see.

This thing might be good or it might be not. But it seems more contextual to have you reading with me through every chapter than to have these tiny snippets here or there that in some cases are what they are; out of context.

So with that in mind, i give you CHAPTER ONE

The Rock Book Volume 1 - Update

As i mentioned maybe yesterday, it's hard to pick out the past from the further past. Anyway, after this story i intend to focus on a series of short stories to be assembled as a collection of cover stories called The Rock Book; how many series, that I do not know but I enjoy the pacing and focus of short stories.

I mentioned in a previous post that I would be working with a Dutch band called Grandpa Death Experience. This will be the first of the series called Jesus Lyte. You can see the original cut of the song below. As I am aware they are in the studio at the moment and will cut another version to be packaged with the Free Art digital release. Nice guys. Reminds me of a smoky Leonard Cohen.

The first few stories for Rock Book Vol 1 will be (up to this moment)


THE ROCK BOOK VOLUME 1

Grandpa Death Experience - Jesus Lite
Nine Inch Nails - We're in this Together Now
Bjork - Oh so Quiet
Johnny Cash - The Beast in Me
The Tea Party - Sister Awake
Porcupine Tree- Trains
Dead Can Dance - American Dreaming

I think I am working towards one day writing the cover story to Dark Side of the Moon. We'll see.

“Everyone keeps harpin about dis feckin song. What da fuck happened last night?”
“Dat’s not important now Shane. Ya have to remember dat song. Ya can’t forget it and tell someone, ya have to tell someone. Yer in danger lad. Everyone ya know. Da fate o da world; it’s in yer feckin hands. God help us all” said The Priest, hardly believing this truth any more than the toothless punk before him.
“Are you sound fadder? Yer soundin a bit like meself” said Shane.
“Listen to me. It’s important dat you remember dis. Ta save us all, ta save the world; you must not touch a single drink. And the junk too, ya keep da needle far from yer veins, ya hear me lad. Da fate o da world is in yer hands.”
