[Pen/Pencil Review] The Midori Eraser Mini Cleaner II
Welcome to Monday and blog post day. This is a tools and info post – because I’m having a lack of brain day. The lovely folks over at Pen Chalet sent out a fantastic infographic that explains fountain pen anatomy. So if you’re into that kind of thing – here’s some cool facts about why […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Dallas Pen Show, FenCon, & Recovery
It’s Pen Post Monday and a full week past FenCon. Time to get all the stuff back on track. Which is more difficult when the dogs are simply extruding “Nap Vibes”…and I had some FenCon close out stuff to do – and laundry (there’s always laundry). Ah, the glamorous life of a writer/blogger… I managed […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The PaperMate SharpWriter – 0.7mm
This is going to be quick and dirty because it’s FenCon week – and time is of the essence. This week we look at a classic mechanical pencil in fun colors – the PaperMate Sharpwriter. This pencil has been around for decades – I did try to find out how long, but couldn’t quite narrow […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] Labor Day 2015 Edition
I’ve spent most of today reorganizing and cleaning out the Master Closet – we have another closet on the agenda. So I’m a bit wiped out by THAT. But in taking advantage of Labor Day sales, I’ve added to the stash of things to review over the next few weeks. I think I’ve also come […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The rOtring Skynn Ballpoint Pen in Red
My first blog post on the new computer. Yay! I’m liking the feel of the computer, which segues into this week’s pen review. The rOtring Skynn ball point pen. I’ve used some of the rOtring pencils before – they’re a favorite of Jimmy’s, but this one was different – and I was looking for an […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Jinhao/Edelstein Revisit
Oh, hi… Monday, you’re slipping away from me. I should try to get something done… But first, a couple of interesting notes: The Pelikan Edelstein long cartridge DOES fit in the Jinhao fountain pen barrel. HUZZAH. The Jinhao’s – which I’ve reviewed before – have a sturdier clip and a better grip than the Pelikan […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] State of the Blog
Today is pen blog day. And this is going to be a wee bit different. Last week I helped man a table at an event for my day job – and pillaged the other tables before I left I have a giant pile of promotional pens. So over the next few weeks, I’m going to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Uni-Ball Air Rollerball Multi-Pack
Last week I had to pick some notebooks up from Staples (they were on serious sale for Back-To-School), and I was sent unattended. Always a danger, because hello, PENS ON SALE! Not only were these on sale, they said “NEW!” Yeah, I had to buy a package of Uni-Ball Air – in the Black, Blue, […]
