Wander to Ponder

Who would wanna go anywhere else, when such beauty is on the doorstep?

Travel is one of those activities I can do by mind or body. When the whim or lack of inspiration strikes, I pack up a bag, and off I go. Writing on the beach has always been a firm favourite, and so was sitting in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, once upon a time.

I guess, when honesty strikes, I just love being outside. Not one for being cooped up, but the nuts and bolts of my writing craft are generally hammered out inside. You see, my faithful laptop doesn’t like the glare of the sun, tried screens and shades to no avail, and a hint of rain or damp has the keyboard threatening to lock itself out, permanently. Me perch in paradise is not just a dream, but a compromise, allowing me to write, and see, the world in front of me.

Inspiration does not flow freely unless it is allowed to roam, and that my friends, is why I wander to ponder, here, there, and anywhere!

Ouch... I think I just landed on my blog

Hello, JJ Cocker here.

Thought I’d spread my not so dainty angelic wings and venture into the world of blogging. An attempt, I guess, to develop my creative streak and keep acquainted with the real me.

You could say I’m taking a career break, at the moment. Sliding between positions, trying to pay the bills, which is far better than being caught up in a global corporation that seems hell bent on driving humanity down a single vision of one size fits all.

My dream is to write stories for the screen that inspire and lift the spirit. If my work pleases some people, some of the time, I’ll be happy. If it makes people laugh, or cry, I’ll be thrilled to bits, and if it makes people open up their hearts and minds and think about creating a better world, my mission would be complete.
