Day 56: Is a goblet made of glass?

The title is just a question I had to ask myself when doing some writing this morning. Isn't researching fun? I've decided that the goblets my characters are using (it's the 18th Century at the moment) are made of glass, as actually, they did use glass goblets at this point - thank you Google :D They even had one that were engraved with all sorts of fancy pictures and the likes.
Also - my characters (who are vampires) seemed to have invented some sort of system for keeping food cool and so they don't go off, but I don't quite know how they do this yet.

I ordered my proof copy of my NaNo this morning :D I can't wait to get it - it feels like ages since NaNo, and I'm really looking forward to sitting down and properly reading my novel from a real book - that is going to be a good feeling I think :D Heather asked me yesterday if I was going to publish, and right now, I have no idea. I'm toying with the idea of self-publishing, as I don't think any real publishers are going to want my work - it's probably not good enough for them xD If I do this, as I won't be working when I'm at university, getting some money from selling some novels could be a good plan. I'm not sure though - I don't know if anyone would actually want to bother reading my novel.
It has a nice front cover though :D Maybe the front cover will make them want to read it, even though you're not meant to judge a book by it ;)

Anyway, back to goblets...
