Yep, ruin your eyes writing a useless novel. SMRT.

I was thinking about it as I've failed the last two times but now without power, I'm not sure if I'm in a state of mind to concentrate enough on another failed attempt. :D

On the other hand, do you have anything better to do with your time?

Unless you have a seedy-esque typewriter collection, get a big pad of paper and a bic and get scribbling!

Well a bit hard to write on paper in the dark. ;)

But candlelight just has that certain attitude and atmosphere that is conducive to writing...

As Anger said if part of my goal is to work on blindness.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

But think of it - an author who goes blind during the Frankenstorm of 2012 as the price he has to pay to write his magnum opus?  You'll be on the Oprah Book Club for sure!

More like ruin your fucking lungs from breathing all that shit those candles put out, which you breath in, in a confined space.

The main reason for the boom in scented candles is it gets rid of what is pretty much a waste product from the oil industry.

You realize that makes little sense, right? That's not why people buy scented candles.

I wasn't addressing the sense of it , as there's none in the buying of them.

Really one of the great triumphs of the 20th century has been the replacement of dirty lighting and cooking sources with 'clean' healthy one; something that still kills millions every year in the third world. 

And what do some people in the west now choose to do, burn candles that give off some pretty unpleasant and carcinogenic combustion products.

A lot more people choose to put carcinogens directly in their mouths.

Hey! :mad:

This isn't about candles! Well, unless you're planning on using them in your NaNoWriMo story....   :hmm:

Anyway, I'm going for a Chick Lit book. Single woman about to hit 40 chases after her genealogical roots in Wales to "shake things up" in her life.

EDIT: Richard, I may need your help on a few things. :)
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

A non-fiction novel?

:glare:

This woman has never married, no kids. Quite obviously not in anyway autobiographical.

It's actually a character that's been in the back of my mind for a couple of years. I just didn't know what to do with her. Then I started thinking about her hitting a major milestone in her life and how she'd react. Voila! My NaNoWriMo novel!
