[Pen/Pencil Post] Wooden Pencil Sampler
Pencils are hard to review. I’ll try to do some for these on an individual manner, but in the last order from JetPens.com, I did pick up a “Wooden Pencil Sampler – B” I am a fan of wooden pencils. There’s a sense of accomplishment when you use one down to the nub. And by […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] KUM Scribble Tip Top Pencil Cap and Sharpener
I’m a huge fan of the Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil. No bones about it. That little sucker is the thing I’ve always needed that I never knew I needed. So when I was on JetPens last, I found something similar but different and decided to try the KUM Scribble Tip Top Pencil Cap and Sharpener. The […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Xtra Precise Ballpoint Pen – Multiple Colors
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 capsâ€. Neither cap nor color drew me to these pens. The “Xtra†and the “Fine†point did. I had to give them an “Xtra†[…]

[Writer Post] SoonerCon Report

So, SoonerCon was something that I both needed and needed to be great. I was not disappointed by either criteria. […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] Plans for Moving Forward
Today is Monday, and though there is yoga class and post-convention brain fade, I’ve come up with a plan for this blog. WOOT! You see, my yoga class (initially running through tonight) has been extended. We will have July off and then return on Monday nights in August. Which means, I need a more sustainable […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] ARGGGGGHHHHH
I’ve signed up for a yoga class on Monday nights for the Mondays in June. There are crazy Day Job Deadlines in June. Pen blogs may happen on TUESDAYS in June. Worst poem EVER.

We return to Pilot this week with a pen that I found at Target and fell in love with. This is the Pilot MR Retro Pop Collection ballpoint pen. This is the only piece I’ve found so far in the Retro Pop Collection, so I’m looking forward to seeing what else they bring out. According […]
