[Pen/Pencil Review] New Pen Outlet Discovered
I promise I’m going to get to ACTUAL pen reviews again soon, but I didn’t have a moment to spare today (much). But I’m getting a blog post in.
Jimmy discovered – and enabled me again – a new pen and pencil outlet online – Tokyo Pen Shop. He discovered some Pentel 205s he didn’t have there. And after a quick look through to get a couple of things to bump his order over to free shipping ($25 like JetPens), I found some things I either missed in other places or didn’t know about. I picked up a pen a tiny reporter’s notebook to try out. I look forward to doing a full review of them in the future. The fact they also threw in a piece of candy and a sticker is a bonus.
I did, indeed, add the sticker to the back of the notebook – and it just fit to make it a personalized experience to me. We’ll see how things go. Pricing seems comparable to JetPens. I’ll be doing some comparisons down the road. Or when I’m ready to do more, just spreading the love. But so far, the pricing has been great. We got the order in quickly with the treats. I’m impressed with them so far.
So go check out Tokyo Pen Shop – they’re in Iowa, I think. You can tell them I sent you, but they don’t know me yet, so it might just scare them. 😎
[Writer Post] The Convention That Was
Welcome to the first Wednesday of 2017. Time for new beginnings and new ‘tudes. Hopefully some new habits and productivity. There’s a lot going on in the next few months, but I’m dedicated to making it all work – because honestly, there’s not much choice in the matter. Failure isn’t really an option – but […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] New Year, New Sales, New Opportunities
Today is the holiday day off for New Year’s Day. I’m also recouperating from a long weekend at a convention. I did play with the Faber-Castell Grip Plus Ballpoint pen when one of my Sherpa inserts ran out of ink this weekend. I’ve also picked up a couple of other things during After Holiday Sales […]
[Writer Post] Challenges
Last blog post of 2016 and it’s punctuated with loss and some frustration – which I guess sums up 2016 in a nutshell. Loss and frustration. Good things happened, but it’s been a pretty dark year over all. I’m looking forward to 2017. I have PLANS, man. Lots of PLANS. Going to try to shake […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Christmas Haul
Just in case anyone was concerned… the pen blog is safe for a while. Thanks to wonderful people in my life who totally enable me. I still have to clean out the GIANT BOX OF PENS – which is part of the Grand Organizational Process of 2017. JetPens did an awesome black ink sampler… so […]
[Writer Post] Season’s Confessions
Merry Wednesday Before Christmas. All is TRYING to be Merry and Bright, but I admit this year the holidays a bit of a struggle. It’s not just because 2016 has been a year punctuated by a random acts of suckage, but because there’s also been a lot of OFF. I know I say I don’t […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A 2016 Holiday Best of – Sort Of
As 2016 comes to a close, there’s still time for a couple more pen blogs. It’s been a hard year with loss and change and SO MUCH DRAMA causing some stutters along the way. Thanks for hanging with me as I muddled my way through the year and still sometimes stumble to get things done. […]

[Writing Post] The Children of Tendu
It’s Wednesday. While I’m in the process of “re-redding” the hair in anticipation of a Christmas party this weekend (and I hate being called a blonde – I’m so NOT a blonde) I’m working on this blog. I’m not an early adopter of a lot of things – especially technology. So I’m generally late to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Baltimore Airport Stylus Pen – Black Ink
I had a lot of time to kill in the Baltimore airport a couple of weeks ago, so I did goofy shopping – some Christmas some not. One of the things I picked up was a Baltimore ballpoint & stylus pen in one of the gift shops – in green (the barrel, not the ink). […]
