China Simplified: History Flashback, a fast-rewind through five millenniums. So many incredible stories...you couldn't make them up, even if you tried!

Why does 80% of the planet know so little about the other 20% of the planet? That's the question I asked myself one morning and the genesis of our China Simplified project.
I've lived in China for over 20 years and remain fascinated by the history, language, and culture. Most of my overseas friends are curious about China, yet most readily admit they don't understand the country and its people, which is amazing considering the volume of books and media coverage devoted to the subject. Visit ChinaSimplified.com to discover what we're doing about it.

The best thing is you become your own boss and can write anything you want. That's also the worst thing, especially if you like to procrastinate.
My two favorite quotes on writing:
"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
-- Ernest Hemingway
"If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I’d type a little faster."
-- Isaac Asimov
