In honor of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), this month's box theme is all about writers and writing. With a great set of candles spanning all stages of writing, this set is perfect for all writers, whether participating in NaNoWriMo or writing to the scratch of their own quill....or keyboard as it may be.

Included in this set are five candles:

Plot Bunnies | Strawberry Blueberry Fizz

This playful scent is a fun way to kick off your creativity. Delicious, sugary strawberries blended with fruity notes of  raspberry, peaches, and sweet cream combine with fresh blueberries and a fizzy note perfect for those ever mischievous plot bunnies. Base notes of vanilla and musk bring depth to this blend and round it out in a mouthwatering scent you won't want to stop smelling.

Writer's Block | Black Cherry Merlot

What better way to work through the dreaded Writer's Block than with a glass of red wine. This addictive blend of dark cherry, black raspberry, and sumptuous merlot combines in a fruity, yet decadent blend. Top notes of cherry, fruits and citrus, blended with light florals, sweet black raspberry, with a base of a light powdery musk are the perfect thing to break through that block. After all, do as Hemingway said: "Write drunk, edit sober."

Word Wars | Spiced Chai Tea

What do we need to fuel our brains during Word Wars (or Word Sprints in some areas)? Caffeine! This candle is a warm and invigorating blend of black tea and spices. Crisp orange notes, blended with subtle hints of jasmine, lavender, and rose, are the perfect complements for the woody, musky base. A fragrant blend of warm spices, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg gives you that warm and cozy feeling of sitting by the fireplace with words pouring from your fingertips.

Kill Your Darlings | Amber, Sandalwood, Musk

"Kill your darlings, kill your darlings, even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler’s heart, kill your darlings.” - Stephen King This candle is warm and comforting blend of amber and sandalwood. Notes of caramel, coconut, vanilla, and musk, combine with light florals and deeper woods to create a scent perfect for consoling you as you kill your darlings. This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils including Cedarwood, Patchouli and Sandalwood.

Flickering Tales | Ignatius | Novice

“The creature was about the size of a ferret, with a similarly lithe body and limbs long enough that it would be able to lope with the grace of a mountain wolf rather than scuttle like a lizard. Its smooth skin was a deep burgundy, like a fine wine. The eyes were large and round like those of an owl, fiercely intelligent and the color of raw amber. It wrapped itself around his neck like a snake, the leathery skin of its belly smooth and warm. The tail whipped past his face, then continued to encircle his nape.”
