[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G-Tec-C 0.4mm Purple
It’s a super busy time (I know, I know, when is it NOT super busy). Between birthday week (and yes, it’s a week), ConDFW, and working with two different classes at the Day Job… yeah. I’m a little behind. Shocker. This one is a slight variation on a them. I’ve done a couple of reviews […]
[Conventions] The Last ConDFW Starts Today!
Today is bittersweet – ConDFW starts today for the last time. Sunday, the last day of this awesome convention will be a significant birthday. My schedule is below – come to the reading on Sunday and – while supplies last – there will be cake balls!
[Pen/Pencil Review] Dong-a U-Knock Retractable – Black Ink 0.5mm
I love having friends in Korea and access to the internet. That way I have access to things like the Dong-A line (which the 12-year-old boy in me always finds HILARIOUS). This week’s pen is the Dong-A U*Knock retractable pen made in Korea. Dong-A is a Korean line. This is a gel ink pen in […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Multi – 4 Color + Pencil 0.5mm
On my Christmas trip to Kinokuniya, today’s multi-function pen caught my eye. This is the Zebra Sarasa Multi 4 color gel ink Multi-Pen with Pencil – all 0.5mm. I got the black barrel. This is rapidly becoming a favorite and a “go to†instrument. I keep my Uni Jetstream in my purse – but this […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Blog that Didn’t Happen
I really meant to do the blog. I really did. Family took priority and Day Job is busy. Everything is fine – or at least moving that direction – but just took some time away from everything else. This is most of the new additions from Christmas. It’s what you’re going to see coming in […]
2019 New Year’s Edition
Happy New Year. It’s January 1, 2019 – holy cow we’re totally in the future. These were the dates in science fiction when I was a kid. And now we’re here. Wow. It’s tough when the holidays fall on blog days. There was also a family wedding (congrats to JD and Maggie) and so many […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel V Feel 0.5mm Red Ink Retractable
Today’s pen comes from the impulsive trip to Kinokuniya a while back. It’s been something floating around in the pen bag but as I have quite a bit of editing and other writing to do, I have a feeling this will get quite a bit of use. It’s from Pentel but it’s also a bit […]
[Write the Story] A Coastal Town in New England is Full of Crazy Characters
Prompt: A Coastal Town in New England is Full of Crazy Characters Words: lobsterman, bicycle, light bulb, yoga, fireworks, infantile, weave, leopard, balding, sunset Story “Couldn’t we have just gone to Cabot Cove?†Liz asked as they headed down the boardwalk toward the beach. “All we’d have to deal with there is a serial-killing mystery […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] I Found a New Store…
In continuing with a theme of “Rhonda is a pen addictâ€, I have too many pens but keep acquiring more – compounded with “Squirrel Brain†to some degree – it’s hard to focus when it’s 100+ degrees and you have intermittent houseguests. We love having houseguests but it does play a little havoc with trains […]
[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 […]
