This is Eglentyne

 

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known as Eglentyne.  I am a writer.  There, I said it.  Phew.  

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.

I like my beer and my chocolate dark and bitter.

The title up there makes it sound like this is a knitting blog.  And it is.  Sometimes.  Ok, every once in a while.  Mostly I talk about whatever is on my mind, which is sometimes knitting, but more often is reading and writing.  Something Knitty was the name of the first novel I ever tried to write.    

I put together the images and the words on these pages with thoughtfulness and love (not to mention sleeplessness and sweat).  If you would like to quote small passages, please feel free to do so as long as you attribute them to me and link back to this site.  If you would like to repost large sections or whole posts, please contact me for permission and verification.  I can be reached via Twitter (@eglentyne) or by email (eglentyne at gmail dot com).  

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 I really don't like thieves.

    Twitter subtracts from the blog

    Shh.  I know.  I thought Twitter was stupid too.  But I don't so much anymore.  It's become an occasional diversion, and a useful tool for communication and information dissemination.  I like it.  I do.

    But when I Twitter, I don't blog.  

    I also don't blog when I'm doing a marathon writing event, which I was doing last month.  I'm happy to share that I finished my Script Frenzy script last month!  The Benevolent Society of Angry Misanthropes (working title), came in at a little over one-hundred pages, including the extensive dialogue that summarized the entire end in five pages.  

    In other news, there has been craft.  Much craft, mostly sewing, with some knitting.  So, if I can't manage to communicate in more than 140 characters, then perhaps I can at least share some photos.  You can have that to look forward to.  

    Oh, and in spite of the stuffy head and mild fever I've suffered the last week, we don't have flu.  Bovine, ovine, or porcine.  And we won't have to suffer through a flu-cation from school.  Or as the Corpus Christi newspaper called it, Swine Break '09.
