(Drake Dunaway) - In downtown Lawrenceville, GA is a pizzeria called "Little Italy's." And every week I would head down and grab a slice or two of the thin crust (because everyone knows that thin and crispy is the only style anyway). Working at this quaint establishment were two Italians, a husband and wife. The husband's name was Cosmo, a rail thin caffeine bean approaching his 70's...

Like I needed more to do that I don't get paid for, a friend talked me into signing up for NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH, an annual event in which one challenges one's self to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days without worrying about details such as "Is it any good?" Ray Bradbury once said something like "Writing is hard. Rewriting is much easier." Thus, the goal is to get it all...

Serena from Saavy Verse and Wit and Margaret from BooksPlease Serena Explain the title of your blog: I toyed with a lot of different names for my blog. I wanted the blog name to signify its content, which I hoped would be writing, reading, and a bit of humor. Being a poet, I always loved verse and I love the word Savvy, so all that was left was Wit. It is really not that great of a story to tell. Kind...

Sifting through a body of work like Bradbury's is a long but rewarding experience. The man is responsible for a great number of timeless short stories and novels, and any properly organized list of recommendations would involve dozens of titles. But were I to whittle this list down, it might end up at one collection... Though it was released in 2001, much of the content in From the Dust Returned dates...
