Update on Writing

27 September 2015 Daniel O'BrienLeave a comment

I missed yesterday too, though I’m not blaming myself for that. I was home for a total of 3 hours yesterday. One of those went to lunch, one to sleeping, and one to getting ready to go out again. Even if I’d forced myself to sit in front of the computer and write, it’d have… Continue reading Update on Writing

Quick Update

20 September 2015 Daniel O'BrienLeave a comment

So, my kitchen is currently under construction. And my modem normally lives in my kitchen. In fact, we cut the phone cable this morning.

Sadly, I have been banned from running for the next little while by my physio, so I’ll be bowing out of my running challenge. No steak dinners for anyone on account of medical injuries are a get-out-of-bet-free card. I have acquired an exercise bike which I’m allowed to use if my knee doesn’t hurt, so… Continue reading Run, er, Walking

Language and an Extension

29 June 2014 Daniel O'Brien2 Comments

On My Writing Technically, a bunch of pieces are due tomorrow to meet the second of the three challenges I set myself. Illness in the past couple of weeks means that isn’t going to happen, so I’m giving myself until the morning of the 7th of July to finish up. Ideally, I’d give myself a… Continue reading Language and an Extension

Writing, Sleeping, and Potato Peel Pies.

07 June 2014 Daniel O'BrienLeave a comment

The May Challenge Well, we’re notably into June now, so I should probably mention that I was successful in getting up at 0600 throughout May. The most helpful person in doing that was my good friend, Hannah. It’s her fault I was writing haikus at 6 in the morning. So, anyone who had the misfortune… Continue reading Writing, Sleeping, and Potato Peel Pies.

Vi Hart is Kinda Awesome

05 June 2014 Daniel O'BrienLeave a comment

Find a spare 30 minutes in your life to watch this: I started watching it assuming it was only a minute or five long. Then realised I’d lost half-an-hour of my life. I regret nothing.
