[Pen/Pencil Review] A Slight Confession of a Lost Cause
When I tell people that I do a pen review blog, the comments range from “That’s so COOL!” to “You talk about what? How often? Really?” The “why?” is implied. But I admit I have a borderline unhealthy love of office supplies and stationary. Heck, I’ve written more than one blog post and interview article about it. I’d say it’s the worst kept secret EVER, except it’s not a secret.
And (depending on your Point of View) the awesome part? Family and friends encourage me on this.
But, Rhonda, why are you telling us this instead of reviewing something? Because I want to show you some of the depths of this fascination. And why I shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near office supplies starting, well, now and going through Labor Day. It’s called “Back to School” time. If you hear me humming The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, it has nothing to do with Christmas…
This is just the most recent, “I don’t NEED this but…” haul from a now difficult to find Office Max in Tyler (I should never be allowed in the Tyler Office Max). And I think a couple of other shopping trips that almost trip me up — and why there needs to be a spread sheet that I haven’t been AT ALL good at keeping updated (heck, it’s barely started). And why this blog will (probably) NEVER be without material. I think I still have stuff from Christmases Past that I haven’t reviewed. I think I have pens in my horde (who are we kidding, it’s not a collection).
And it’s not just 
So fear not, captive audience, this part of the blog is in no danger of going away. Not as long as I can “justify” my love of all things ink, graphite and paper by writing more books and stories (that’s MY story and I’m sticking to it) and introducing you to something new…there will be a pen blog. Just sometimes without the review part.
