I have a caravan on the west coast overlooking the beautiful islands of Eigg and Rum and Muck. How’s that for words! And in this caravan there is no electricity, or internet connection, and very little mobile phone signal. I gaze at the sea, walk, write, talk….. and listen to the birds and the waves. Inspiration to write stories, it seems, needs that big space, like big listening.
