HAZARDS

One aspect of being drunk on writing is that eventually one might find oneself passed out on one's keyboard. It is not a pretty sight, from the checkered pattern imprinted upon cheek and forehead to the 99 page manuscript that consists of 89 pages of "aaaaaaaaaaa" or whatever character one's head happened to impact first upon the loss of consciousness.

Then again, no eye will be punctured by a keyboard, a definite danger in the age of the quill. And ink in one's hair is not a possiblity. Therefore, in the light of the historical writing hazards mentioned above, the keyboard really is a bit of a lightweight, isn't it?
