This is Dani Smith

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne.  I am a writer in Texas.  I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies.  I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate.  I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough.  Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.  

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas.  If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing.  Don’t be a stealer.  Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    Would you like tissues with that?

    This virus and I are celebrating our eighth day together. Ah, and what a time we’ve had. Gosh, it seems like only last week we were having that first little tingle of excitement, a tickle in my nose, then the flash of a blinding headache. And then how time flew as we worked our way through the snot, choosing our favorite kleenexes, deciding on a drug regimen.

    But I’m worried that the virus is starting to lose interest. The fire has really gone out of things.

    And what will I do when the virus is gone? Oh, my, what will I do???

    Oh wait. I know what I’ll do.

    Breathe through both nostrils at the same time! Hear clearly with both ears!! Not fall asleep when I sit still for three seconds!! WRITE.

    Ahem. Sorry. I got a little carried away there.

    But yes, the plan here is to write this weekend. I have 40 pages done on the script. I have a 30-page goal for this weekend. Who’s with me? You over there in California maybe? How about you, yes, you, up in British Columbia? Yes, you know you want to. Ok, maybe not 30 pages. How about a fresh blog? Free-writing for 20 minutes? A grocery list?

    seems as though those on the west coast must answer. I will be writing, though, writing may be confined to work of the unfun.

    Write write write
