I write not out of desire to tell stories, but a need to understand who I am and consequently who we are. I view myself more often than not as an outsider, after a long struggle I have found this to be a place where I am comfortable. As an outsider I have developed an interest in the place of the individual in society and the responsibility we need to take for our existence and desired freedom. The behaviours that result from such responsibility or the shrugging of it form the basis of much of my writing, art and photography via the themes of loneliness, love, despair, hope and the individual. I believe creativity is at its most beautiful when it challenges; I want people to stop and think.
I am currently writing Deception, a novel about the struggle for the survival of the self. I regularly post other stories and snapshots of my writings on my blog, http://decodingstatic.blogspot.com. You’ll also come across art and photography; releasing the mind and capturing memories. Music Corner is where I share my love of and excitement for music; interviews, reviews and recommendations will be found. Whilst book reviews and interviews are at Book Lane. I am also interested in mental wellbeing, especially the impact of this on the individual. You will find occasional silliness in between my thoughts. I hope you enjoy what you find. Comments and interaction are encouraged.
I am also on tumblr, http://decodingstatic.tumblr.com/ where clues to my sense of self will be found via snapshots of my work and recommendations of writing, art, photography and music that I find interesting or makes me smile.
