Joe Strummer once said that as an artiste, he wanted to be like an oxyacetylene torch – incandescent. Intense but short-lived. But enough with this,’life’s brief candle’ bullshit. Oxyacetylene flames are generated by controlled mechanics in the torch itself and candle flames are the result of a complex chemical energy exchange; hydrocarbons + oxygen=light
The key is in controlling your flame. I don’t believe in burning out or becoming spent.
I just love your creative-writing advice! I should feature you in the WoW Saturdays!
I love your photos and your analogy above.
I just found your blog and wanted to contact you, but couldn’t see where, so I’m putting this here. I hope that’s okay. After reading your blog, I thought that you might like my new YA fantasy novel, ‘Lethal Inheritance’. You’ll find ch 1 of it at http://publishersearch.wordpress.com/lethal-inheritance/
If you like it, I’d appreciate it if you could mention it to your readers.
