[Pen/Pencil Review] The JetPens Chibi Mini-Fountain Pen
Today’s pen review is another small fountain pen. This one is JetPens.com Chibi Mini-Fountain Pen. Which is a slight redundancy since “chibi” means “small” in Japanese. This cute little guy has JetPens.com embossed on the clip. This cute little guy is a bit longer than the Pilot Petit fountain pens. The pen is about 4.75″ […]
[Writer Post] Farewell to 2014
Last day of 2014. Wow. Who’d’ve thought we’d ever say that? I remember reading 2014 (and about to be 2015) as dates in Science Fiction. And look, here we are. It’s been a long and winding year. The writing community has seen quite a bit of upheaval in the industry. We’ve said good bye to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot V7 Hi-Techpoint Roller Ball – Green Ink
The last pen review of 2014… where does the time go? And DUDE who’d’ve thought we’d be here? This is Science Fiction years. But here we are. This last pen for 2014 was something I saw in passing on JetPens and then bought as stocking stuffers for Jimmy and myself. I give you the Pilot […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Jimmy’s Pentel Pencil Collection
Merry Christmas Week. We are as ready as we’re going to be. And as it’s Christmas Week, I’m going to do something a bit different. As I’ve mentioned in the past, Jimmy’s not only supportive of my pen blog, he can be something of an enabler. He also has a weakness of his own… he’s […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Replica Blue Fountain Pen – Piston Fill
Like I said last week, I really need to learn to do these the night before. Monday’s are getting away from me. We had Day Job Departmental Holiday Dinner. Jimmy got to meet the new group of people I work with. But that means I’m woefully behind. This is one of the last pieces from […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Noodler’s Piston-Fill Liquid Ink Rollerball
I still have a couple of Dallas Pen Show pens to review. This week’s a liquid ink rollerball from Noodler’s that I picked up at the Dallas Pen Show. I want to say they were giving them away, but I may have bought it because I love the one from J. Herbin so much. This […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Speech & Thought Bubble Sticky Notes
I have awesome friends. They find me fun and unusual pens and other lovely things. These sets of sticky notes came from my friend, Meredith, and I wish I had more opportunities to use them – though when I get my novel edits, I think I’ll have ample opportunities. These sticky notes came in two […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Blue Journal Pen – 1.0mm Ballpoint
I really need to learn to do these the night before. Monday’s are getting away from me. This is a pen I picked up on my last binge at Office Depot. I kinda forgot about it – until today when I was about to put it away, when I remembered… hey, Monday. This is simply […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Rerun – The Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook
I apologize for the rerun – but this is a transition week into a new job and had some Real Life stuff raise its inevitable head. So, I’m going to rerun this review because after a year (mostly because I used it for a lot of writing samples), the notebook is nearly full – I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] UZI Tactical Glassbreaker Pen #7 – Gun Metal
I have some of the best people in my life… I really do. I couldn’t do most of what I do without their encouragement, support (and occasional enabling). This is one of those times. My Most Awesome Friends, John and Susan Husisian are just the best. At Fencon, they gave me this week’s pen (sorry […]
