Les Back reflects on writing with Tom YarrowYou have written about the importance of taking the reader 'there', as well as on the relationship between what and where we write.The medium of this exchange is email and so the 'there' is distributed in time and space.I am writing this on a train between Durham and York, my daily commute.It takes about an hour and is a space I like to use to write.There is something about the literal movement that generates a sense of momentum.If I get stuck I can look out of the window --the North York moors on one side, the Dales to the other.It's enough of a distraction to move me on but not so much as to break the flow.The buffet trolley goes by 'Any teas, coffees or refreshments.'I'd like you to start by setting the scene at your end
