Getting up early pros:
Get more work done
More time in the day to do stuff
Can catch some of the sexy voiced Claire Byrne Ger Gilroy on the radio
Can look at people going out to work in the rain and such while I sit at home
Can let Bastardface out front to play with Postman
Baguettes in shop next door are fresh cooked and crispy, not limp and floppy like they are by noon
Sausages, bacon etc to put in baguettes to make breakfast roll are fresh cooked and not covered in congealed grease
Coffee tastes better
Getting up early cons:
Getting up early
Cons – Getting up early when it’s bloody freezing even though it is still summer.
Getting up early eh? Is that a euphemism for ‘Running out of deadline time on book’?
Are you suggesting I haven’t planned my time correctly and wasted too much playing Addams Family pinball and am now beavering away madly on the book?
How dare you, sir…
Flirty – aye, I bet we’ll get a really cold winter this time around too.
Con- retards on public transport who continue to force their way onto an already jam-packed Luas carriage, and then complain when people don’t get out of their way. Thank god I live near the start of the green line… until September.
I started writing a book a few years back. Gave up. Too fuckin’ hard.
So, in percentage terms, about how much work is left?
I’d say about 20%
So you’ve done all the book cover meetings, publicity briefings and relentless self-promotion, leaving you with just the writing of the book?
A pint or two will help the creative juices flow Twenty!
20%, might just be enough?
a few pints in an early house down near the markets, back to bed for a snooze before lunch
I am predicting glorious sunshine and melting ice caps for winter.
