It's All About. The Pen.

Call me crazy, but I am a pen fanatic. I love a good pen and notice that it will literally change the course of a meeting/class/note card for me.

If I love the pen, I’ll write more, write better and stay more focused. But I’m also VERY particular about my pens. The ink has to be the right thickness, the ball point needs to roll perfectly- when everything aligns. BEAUTY. Honestly, I’m so particular about my pens- it could be borderline OSD.

I wrote last week about my love of stationary, and to be fare, that love is incomplete without that of a good pen.

On Monday, while working in my office, I noticed I needed I pen. I went to our supply room to get another PILOT G2 07, the typical pen our office stores in black and blue ink- and then I noticed something that changed my day, week and possibly my work life balance- someone had ordered the office UNI Super Ink pens with the 5 intents on the cap. (!!!!)

These pens are OUTSTANDING and beautiful because not only do they make my writing look so much better (I believe), but they then make me want to write even more! (For real!) Actually, when I first met one of the women who I would start working closely with at work this past summer, she pulled out one of these pens in a meeting- I couldn’t resist- don’t you just love those pens! She immediately exclaimed back- I don’t write anything without them! She then proceeded to tell me a story about how when she was at Harvard Law a friend of hers forgot that particular type of pen to take notes with for the day, and literally debated just skipping class, because it wouldn’t be worth it to go without the pen. Ultimately, she went all the way back home to get it and then ended up late to class, but pen in hand. (Ha!)

Anyway, if you haven’t yet used on one these wonderous pens- you must try it! It will change your penmanship, how much you write, who you write- and who knows, maybe you’ll even start writing a handwritten letter a day.
