This week’s pen review is going to be a little bit different. It’s a pen, but with no writing sample - for reasons that shall become clear. This particular pen was a birthday gift from Jimmy through a Kickstarter project so there’s going to be a few unusual bits. The pen comes ( Read more... )

I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine point pens and pencil. I’m still NOT a fan of the default 1.0mm ballpoints and 0.7mm pencils are okay but… However… sometimes you gotta try stuff when it looks interesting. This

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a Star Trek girl. I grew up on it. I learned storytelling from it. My first FanGirl crush was on DeForest Kelly as Dr. McCoy. BUT…BUT…I have a lot more Star Wars STUFF. I like Star Wars, I do. It’s mindblowing what it’s been able to accomplish and ( Read more... )

A few months ago I mentioned our trip to Killen to meet George Fox of My Supply Room. I came home with this lovely selection of BIC pens - mostly vintage. Several of them had either no ink or ink so old that the pens didn’t work. But that’s okay. I took some notes, and voila, ( Read more... )

Today’s pen blog is a bit different. Saturday, Jimmy and I did a road trip to Killeen, TX to meet up with fellow pen/pencil collector and blogger, George Fox of My Supply Room. There’s a typical feeling among writers about being a fraud or poser… yeah, that was me meeting George ( Read more... )

I know I’ve complained loudly about pen manufactures (BIC and Papermate, I’m looking at you) defaulting to larger and larger ballpoint sizes. I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine points. I’m still NOT a fan of the default 1.0mm ballpoints. However… sometimes you gotta try ( Read more... )

This is going to be a rerun post, because I totally left a bunch of pens at home that I might still need to do, and it’s yoga night. HOWEVER… I’ve been drawn today to a basic BIC Cristal stick pen - which I believe is the 1.0mm in the writing sample at the end of this post. So, I’ ( Read more... )

I have a problem. Back-to-School displays are my weakness. I went into Walgreens and discovered a new line of BIC Cristal stick pens - Xtra Precision multi-pack with “fun and colorful caps”. Neither cap nor color drew me to these pens. The “Xtra” and the “Fine” point did. I had to ( Read more... )

This is one of the last finds on the last Office Depot run. These are the BIC Intensity permanent pens - fiber tipped in a 0.5mm fine point. These came in a five-pen multi-pack - two black, blue, green, and red.

Earlier this month we had to hit up Office Max for promotional material bases for the shows I’m doing this month - and of course, hit the clearance aisle. Some of the “Bic for Her” pens were there, and after several people sent me the links to the Oh, so snarky commentary on the ( Read more... )
