girl boys thinking
Every year I teach dozens of students at the University of Birmingham. Most of the students on the gender and sexuality courses are women. I guess this is because the boys don't think that gender applies to them: that it's a subject for girls.
book writing thinking
Don't write the book you think publishers want to commission. Plenty of other writers will be doing the same thing.
baby thinking way
I used to think about how I was conceived quite a lot when I was about 10 or 11, but I don't think about it at all now that so many other babies have been born in the same way.

definite eventually three yes younger

I have a large pile of novels on my bedside table, and I look at them frequently, promising myself that I will find the time to read them.

It took a brave editor in the U.S. to sign a contract for Dancing Girls, and without her belief in the book, I'm not sure it would ever have found its way into print.
Then I obviously didn't understand what it all meant, but I do now.
I never felt any different from anyone else though.
dad passed
When dad told me Mr Steptoe had passed away, I broke down.
number women
I would say the number of women approaching us has more than doubled,
type
I like many types of music and probably too many to mention here.

The richest most meaningful stories are found in small places: made, carried, crafted, told, and retold by apparently unimportant people.
