Into the Darkness with Mr. Cairo
No work on the new story this morning. I woke up an hour late, then spent the morning organizing anthology stuff, sending rejections, dividing part of the maybe pile into "Yes", "Still Maybe" and "No" piles, and cleaning out the inbox. It's going to be a pretty good anthology.
Today's spotlight chapbook is "The Legend of Mr. Cairo", which was inspired by the Jon & Vagellis song "The Friends of Mr. Cairo"--which, if you haven't heard it, you should do so--and a book I found at the library 20 years ago about torture methods. In this story, Morghan Stanley doesn't know he's been possessed by an ancient evil spirit that wants nothing more than to kill and maim. Morghan has been captured by a mysterious sect that has been trailing the demon through the centuries, and it's determined to exorcise the demon, no matter the consequences to Morghan himself.
The story is backed by "Preparations" and "Astrid Like a Candle", the first two of my Mr. Seagle and Mr. Perry stories. Though unconnected, these stories feature the same characters in similar situations: Mr. Seagle's wife Astrid has died of lung cancer and Mr. Perry is the funeral director helping him out. "Preparations" is the first story I ever had published--well, that I didn't publish myself or wasn't published by a close friend--and it opens my collection Terrible Thrills. "Astrid Like a Candle" was inspired by the Siouxsie & the Banshees song "Melt" and a Clive Barker story, which I can't remember the name of, so never mind. It's a very creepy story and one I wouldn't mind seeing filmed.
You can get this chapbook in print for $4.99 from CreateSpace (https://www.createspace.com/3964997) or Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/The-Legend-Cair...), or for $2.99 your Kindle (http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Mr-Cairo...), also at Amazon, while other ebook formats are, as always, available at Smashwords (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

The Son of Man, and +717
I mentioned previously the next first draft story I'm writing, and how it makes me nervous because it's so far outside my comfort zone. But I figured out a way last night to make it fit just a little more closely with what I know I can write. And for the rest, I'm taking Neil Gaiman's advice and pretending to be someone who can write it.
I got a decent start this morning and wrote the first section, which came to 717 words. And considering how long I sat there staring at the blank page trying to find the first sentence, that's not bad.
And now onto "The Son of Man", the second chapbook in the Five Fates bundle.
This is a very old story, written back in 1993. I was outside one summer evening waiting for a pizza to show up when I looked up at the sky and saw this huge long, thin cloud, all by itself, and I thought it looked just like a spine. And then I imagined how big a creature must be to have a spine that size. And then I imagined more clouds drifting in to connect with it, clouds shaped like other bones until there was a giant skeleton in the sky.
"The Son of Man" is backed with TWO bonus stories, "Inside" and "Bob's Leg", two more of my favorite short stories. These two are VERY short ("Bob's Leg" is only 1012 words while "Inside" isn't even 900 words), but I think they both pack more punch than many of the 3000+ word stories I've written in 20 years. In all three cases, we're dealing with very surreal imagery and a world turned upside down by them.
As with "In the Veins", and the rest of the stories, you can get the print version (5X8, 30 pages) from either CreateSpace or Amazon (where you can also get the Kindle version for FREE), or the ebook version for Nook, Sony Reader or Kobo at Smashwords.com. The Print version is $4.99 and, while the ebook version is SUPPOSED to be $2.99, Amazon, for whatever reason, has been offering it free for about two months. I don't know why or for how much longer they'll be doing that, though, so get it while you can.

The Room in the Veins
This morning I gave "The Room" another read and picked up a few more details that needed tending to. I took out some, added some, and in the end raised the word count about 25 words. Nothing major, but the things I caught were small details I had never found any of the other dozens of times I'd read that story since writing it. This is one of the reasons it's sometimes hard for me to go back and re-read an old story; I know I'm going to find things I should have found a long time ago and it's going to shake my confidence in the story. But this is a good story, I think. The idea of it is a good idea, not one I've read before, and told in the best way that suits this situation. I think. So we'll see how it turns out.
The next project is another new first draft, not related to the series of 6 I'm currently smack in the middle of. In fact, this one's been causing me a small amount of stress the closer I get to working on it. It's way outside my comfort zone.
Meanwhile, let's talk more about Fate and the chapbooks I showed off yesterday.
The first story in the collection, and one of the earliest stories I ever wrote, was "In the Veins". Originally this story was called "The Claustrophobic" because I was in high school and was trying to write a story about fear. That was a stupid title, though. I knew it then and a few years later when I gave the story a complete re-write I changed the title to something a little more vague. "In the Veins".
This is a story about fear, panic, delusion, paranoia.
Years ago I heard about this local Halloween attraction called The Catacombs. From what I understood at the time, groups of people were led into these underground catacombs and let loose to find their way out. So I imagined myself doing something like that. And I think it may be fun for the first fifteen, twenty minutes. But after a while, I think the feeling of being trapped would get to me and I'd probably lose my usually cool exterior. Of course, the longer I thought about it, the less likely it seemed that something like this really existed, at least not in this town. And if it ever did, it certainly didn't exist in the form of the Catacombs in this story.
The chapbook version of the story is 33 pages and comes with a free bonus story, "Mistress", another personal favorite. I think together the pair works as a themed coupling, both stories dealing with main characters who find themselves in situations outside their comfort zones where it seems everything around them is happening in this surreal alternate landscape and they're both just searching for escape that seems as if it's never going to come.
You can get these stories in either print or ebook formats from various places. CreateSpace (https://www.createspace.com/3964113) has the print version, as does Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/In-Veins-C-Denn...). Amazon also has the Kindle version (http://www.amazon.com/In-the-Veins-eb...), as does Smashwords (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...), which also has the story for various other reading devices like Kobo, Nook and Sony Readers. The ebook version is $2.99, while the chapbook is a mere $4.99.

Fate
And I'm back to work this morning. After a few weeks off from the writing part of writing, I finally did something productive in that area this morning. After finishing my last first draft, it was time for another revision of an old piece I was never quite happy with, this time "The Room", an experimental short story I always liked in theory, but I knew some of the writing was just bad.
So this morning I gave it a read-through and ended up deleting 257 words, changing the name of the female character (Jesus, I named her WILMA in the original version? WTF?), and just generally cutting a lot of unnecessary words. Hopefully this edit is much tighter. I'll need to print a new copy and read it again, then we'll see.
Meanwhile, let's talk about Fate. And publishing.
As I've mentioned here before, years and years ago I had the idea that writers should be able to sell directly to their readers. After all, we write these stories, we print them, and we always hand them out to a small handful of people for their feedback. For free. So what's the stop us from doing that with everything? We write it, we print it, we distribute it directly to readers. Hopefully for a fee because while free is nice for the reader, the mortgage company isn't so fond of it. And back when I was having these thoughts, I'd already had several years experience publishing my own DIY chapbooks, so I knew it would be nothing at all to publish my short stories as standalone single-story chapbooks. I even had the pricing worked out, $0.10/printed chapbook page. I mean, it basically cost me nothing to make a chapbook, so anything I made would be profit. But you're not gonna build an empire on handmade chapbooks.
And now in 2012, the technology and the business end of things have both caught up enough that this actually IS a feasible idea AND is becoming more acceptable as a business practice within the writing community. Thanks to CreateSpace.com, authors can print their own stand-alone short story chapbooks. The cost isn't quite as flexible as I'd like to see it, but that's understandable; CS has costs, too. But we can still price them pretty low.
So over the past few weeks I've been experimenting with this idea and have taken the first six ebooks on my ebook page and made them into chapbooks. That's five stand-alone stories (with free bonus back-up stories) for $4.99 each , plus the collected edition, FIVE FATES, for $5.99. And they look AWESOME:
The trim size of each is 5X8, with an average page count of about 30 pages. Laid out, they look like this:

I love these things and am psyched for the possibilities they promise.

The C. Dennis Moore Short Fiction Omnibus, Vol. 1 is here
And I'm back. Actually, I was here all along, I just haven't been doing much writing. I should be; I have 5 more short stories to write in first draft by the end of the year. But they'll get done, I'm pretty sure.
For the past couple of weeks I've been working on some publishing instead.
Inspired by the new landscape, I've been doing something I've wanted to do for over a decade. I'll get to that soon, though. For now I want to focus on the new print copies of my collection WITH JUST A HINT OF MAYHEM.
Anyone who knows me knows I love short stories. I love writing them. Hell, if I thought a writer could make a really good living on short stories, I'd probably never write anything but. Okay, I would, but I'd write mostly short stories.
Over the past twenty years or so of writing, I've amassed quite a collection of short stories, most of which have been published. With those short stories, I've put together a few collections I'm pretty proud of. Terrible Thrills, my first collection, was published by Silver Lake Publishing to little fanfare, but a great review in Cemetery Dance, which was a hell of an ego boost. Over the past year and a half I've put together two more collections, Icons to Ashes, which was almost published by Undaunted Press in 2005 or 2006, and Dancing On a Razorblade, a collection of some longer works that didn't fit into Terrible Thrills. Individually these collections would run $26.97 for all three print versions and $16.97 in ebook formats.
WITH JUST A HINT OF MAYHEM: The C. Dennis Moore Short Fiction Omnibus, Vol. 1 changes that. You can now get all three of my collections, a total of 39 short stories and over 350 pages, for just $9.99 in ebook formats or $15.99 for the print version. And just look at the pictures below to see how beautiful it is!

While this book doesn't contain ALL of my short stories, nor even all of my published short stories, it's a pretty good start and a hell of an introduction to the kind of fiction I like to write. I'm pretty happy with the final product, and it's good to see so many of the stories I put so much work into in one place.

+ 938 = 2131
Well, after THREE false starts and much hair-pulling, I finally have a first draft of the new story this morning--and that's after over-sleeping an hour. 571 words last night after work, plus 938 this morning and I've got 2131 words done. I'll set the story aside and work on other stuff now.
I also read about a dozen Into the Darkness submissions last night, so that's a little closer to done, as well.
And one more thing, last night in the mail I got
I really like the uniformity of the short story collection covers, and GENRES almost prevented me from getting any work done last night or this morning; that's a good-looking book.
Now to convince everyone else to buy copies

+622
Rarely have I fought so hard with a story as I'm fighting with this new one. The 2000+ words I had before, I realized night before last they weren't working because I was writing first person, and I think this story needs to be third person. My original plan had been to just finish the draft and change it later, but the more I thought about it, then more I saw the end of the story wasn't going to come if I kept trying to think in first person, so I abandoned those 2000+ words and, last night after work, started over. I got just over 500 words, and it was ok, but still not THERE. Then I remember Kurt Vonnegut's rule: Start as close to the end as possible. And I knew the problem. Too much setup, too much preliminary nonsense before I got to the actual story. So I started yet again this morning, and managed 622 words.
Not great, but better. God willing, this will be the last time I have to start this story, and this time I can write on to the end. I think three false starts is a record for me. Hopefully I won't make it four.

Update
Despite few updates this month so far, I'm still hard at work trying to finish this new story. It's very very slow going, but I'm working at it. The thing that's frustrating me so much is that I can see the story, beginning to end, clearly in my head, but getting it from pictures in my head to words on the page is proving more difficult than usual, and I can't figure out why. I'm working on it, though, slowly, word by word. I got about 600 today, and the story is up to about 2400.
On the days I seem to have more trouble than usual on the story I've been working on another collection, this one a one-volume compilation of my three short story collections, Terrible Thrills, Icons to Ashes and Dancing on a Razorblade. I spent quite a while yesterday hunting down the cover photo, and I finally found it last night. But now with the cover out of the way, I have to set it aside and concentrate on the story; I want a first draft by Friday, then I can finish the omnibus.
And then there are the anthology submissions. Man, that's a lot of stories. But I'm getting them read, one story at a time.

1506
The new story is at 1506 words now. I did about 500 after work yesterday, then another 500 or so this morning.
I think the difficult thing with writing this one is that I know the story, the backstory, the sidestory, and so many more things about what's going on that probably won't even make it into the story, and as I'm writing, I'm constantly trying to figure out how to reveal information without an info-dump and without info-overload. I could spell out in very clear detail what's going on, what the characters are coming to understand as the story progresses, but it would read forced, so I have to decide what bits to let slip and how best to show them--as opposed to telling.
This seems so much easier when I'm discovering a story as I write it; it's not often I know a story so completely before I even start it, but this one just came to me in a flash one night and it was all there. I'm having to reign in my impatience and let the story unfold naturally.
I anticipate at least another 1500 words, possibly 2000, which will be close to where I figured the story would end up. First draft by next Friday at the very absolute latest.

August 1st already? Jesus, summer's almost over. Registration is this week, then school starts soon after.
No new words this morning. I tried, but everything I added was wrong and got deleted almost immediately after. I may give it another go after work, but this morning just wasn't falling into place for some reason.
Into the Darkness submissions closed at midnight last night. As it stands, I could probably read 10 submissions every day and it would still take all of August to get through them all. I'm going to finish getting through them as quickly as I can, though.
I've officially gone through and redesigned nearly every paperback cover on CreateSpace, adding some uniformity to the collections:
and getting the mini collection covers, Five Fates and Five Fatal Fantasies more in line with how I'd originally envisioned them:
And finally the novella covers are just, in my opinion, damn awesome and I'm proud to have them on my books:
Also, paperback copies of each can be purchased, just click the links in the covers. Easy peasy.
