I am currently working on the sequel to my last book 'Busting the Myths of Mars and Venus'.

This follow on book, working title 'A Woman's Guide to a Manmade World' is based on a long life and years of research. The writing is flowing well as I have been assembling the ideas and research and anecdotes over the last three years or more. I want to write a book that is encouraging to both women and men to change the way we think about ourselves and each other and to stop halving or smothering our potential and the benefits we could bring to the world around us.(less)

As a mainly nonfiction writer, I find there are so many things that fit into this category that I want to write about twelve books at the same time, so there's never any difficulty with inspiration. I have a deep sense of fairness, a sense of wonder and curiousity that drives me to read and research and think about almost everything I see or hear. When I write fiction, I just jump right in and let the characters lead me. So a sense of 'what happens next?' keeps me interested and hopefully my readers too.(less)

Excellent. Priscilla Long leaves nothing out. Everything about writing is in this book, right down to the last full stop/period. Complete with numerous examples and practical excercises. If you follow her processes, your writing will sing.

“Ironically, I believe Picasso was right. I believe we could paint a better world if we learned to see it from all perspectives, as many perspectives as we possibly could. Because diversity is strength. Difference is a teacher. Fear difference, you learn nothing.

Picasso’s mistake was his arrogance. He assumed he could represent all of the perspectives. And our mistake was to invalidate the perspective of a 17-year-old girl because we believed her potential would never equal his.

Hindsight is a gift. Stop wasting my time.

A 17-year-old girl is just never, ever, ever in her prime! Ever. I am in my prime. Would you test your strength out on me?

There is no way anyone would dare test their strength out on me because you all know there is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.”
