“Every November, our children’s plastic dinosaur figures come to life and wreak havoc on our home. This summer, the dinosaurs got out early.We managed to capture their hot-weather antics on camera and have compiled the pictures for you here (along with a bit of Twitter commentary by Rex). As usual, the results are less than tidy.” Read more and check out the pictures at How to Make the Most of Summer.

Now it seems obvious: writing a poem, essay, story, or novel is something like composing a puzzle. Not only does the writer need to choose what to include, but he needs to arrange the pieces artfully, strategically, both to lead the reader forward and to encourage her to notice what needs noticing, and to deceive her a bit, throw her off the scent.
