Comment by Likai Chen on April 4, 2008 at 5:50pm -
Hello, everyone! I'm Mr. Likai Chen. I live in China and a freelance author writing fictions in English. I'm new here and I hope all friends here could help me with writing.
I had my first juvenile fiction, Shuisheng the Mallard, published by Mill Creek Press in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2007. It tells a group of wild ducks flying south for the coming winter. A lot of dangers on their way. How they manage to excape the dangers? Can they arrive at their winter home in the south of China?
Also a lot of beautiful Chinese folk tales and Chinese traditional illustrations in the storybook that attract a lot of American children and adults.
I want to hear your comments on my book, friends, because you, the great authors, can give valuable comments that will help me with my future writing. Thank you!

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?
