I don t think it s terminal, though. I don t think Scotland is incurably tongue-tied; especially not now we ve got to start really examining who and what we are. There s hunners of energy and enthusiasm for the new and the possible in recent start-ups like Bella Caledonia and Cargo Publishing. There should be more like them. I m sure any Australians reading this would scoff and say, no, that s not really what it s like, not at all, and I admit my full-on crush on Melbourne is colouring the way I see things. But if it s also inspiring me to do more than write just to pay the bills, that s got to be a good thing, no?
Best writer in Scotland. Just sayin.
Wonderful discussion ! Intelligent, playful, and truthful – made my night .
Fab novel too by the way. Thankyou both !
