A great book to read

Discovered a new book to read: The Cost of Living by Deborah Levy, which talks about Simone de Beauvoir, a leading French female intellectual and a woman ahead of her time. She wrote the internationally bestselling book on the suppression of women, called "Second Sex." Give it a read!

Play with story ideas and spin them

so they reflect the more current times.
