[Pen/Pencil Review] The Optimus Felt Tip 2 Pack
Last week I hit up a Dollar General for some inexpensive plastic ware to transport cookies to a show. If I’m doing that, I’m also going to hit up the “Back to School” and office supply aisle. Which is where I found this misprinted set, and had to have it – for a $1. The […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Hi-Tec-C Maica in Black
I just found a pen I picked up from JetPens.com a while back that I haven’t reviewed yet. It’s another in the Pilot Hi-Tec-C line. This one the Maica line – which is a “fashion” type stick rollerball pen. The fashion part is in the logo medallion and the point size on the smoky cap. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Atlantis Exact Fine Point Ballpoint
I found the Bic Atlantis Exact fine point multi-pack in blue, black, and red on a sale rack in Office Max. Since it was a rare BIC fine point pen in the US, I decided I needed to try them. You know… for the blog, of course. These pens are much more to my liking […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Adler Multi-Function Pen From Zumaya Publications
This week’s review was a gift from Liz Burton of Zumaya Publications. It’s a higher end promotional, multi-function pen – that’s pretty spiffy looking. Liz called it a “writer’s” pen… and I can see why. It could be the Adler Crowne Triple Function Stylus Pen. This pen is a stunning blue metal with bright chrome […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pelikan Edelstein Garnet Ink Cartridges
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my awesome Conklin Duragraph Fountain Pen from Pen Chalet – which is still awesome. However, what’s not as praiseworthy was the Pelikan Edelstein Ink Cartridges. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE the Garnet color. It’s a super deep red – kind of like a blood red that works […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Dr Grip Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm
I know I didn’t get a pen blog done yesterday. I was finalizing some fiction submissions for a short story submission deadline and some last bits of novel process. The novel has me very, very excited. In the interim I knew I was going to have to do let something go… well, this ended up […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Kikkerland Wooden Bamboo Ballpoint Pen
Every so often I buy a Kikkerland novelty (or novelty like) piece at World Market, or more often, Half Price Books. Half Price always has cool stuff near the register. This was a two-pack of Bamboo ball point pens – real bamboo. I had to try them. The Kikkerland Bamboo pens actually have wooden barrels […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Conklin Duragraph from Pen Chalet
Last week I had one of those experiences that all pen blog writers dream of, a pen shop emailed me to ask me if they sent me a pen, would I review it honestly and provide a few links. Um, gee, let me think about that for a second…yes. Therefore, I’d like to formally thank […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Paper Mate InkJoy Stylus Triangular Ballpoint in Purple
Today’s blog post… I revisit Paper Mate’s InkJoy. This is the Stylus stick triangular pen in purple ink. I picked this one up at Office Max. I keep coming back every so often to InkJoy because I really WANT to feel the Joy. I really do. I know people who love these pens. Alas…I am […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Office Depot Fashion Rollerball Pens – Multi-Pack
It’s time to get back to normal. We had illness in the house on top of everything else. But we’re better now. So, now it’s pen blog time. This week, I’m reviewing a multi-pack of fashion pens from Office Depot. These fun roller ball pens come in a variety of patterns – from polka dots […]
