Welcome to nakedize.com
We're in the publishing business but, unlike most people who charge for words, our philosophy is that producing fewer words allows for more consideration, by both writer and reader.
It seems to us that human life isn't a sprint race or a marathon; it is (hopefully) an endless relay.
So our goal is to help everyone to slow down a little so that we all have more time for some really important activities: to understand and reflect on our true 'position'; to look after and appreciate all that we have; and to really enjoy our few moments with the baton.

Simon's new book on sale June 2008
Simon's new book, From Afterwit to Zemblanity, is a gallery of fine words. And, in keeping with his less-is-more philosophy, this book features just 100 English gems that you can get to know properly before moving on to the next word. And what constitutes a gem? Here's just one to whet your appetite.
conncinity n. 'skilful and harmonious adaptation or fitting together of parts' (OED)
