LOOKING THE PART
Over at Professor Barnhardt's Journal is this little gem, called, "The Condensed Guide To Looking Like A Writer".
I don't closely follow the trends amongst writers, writing-students, and writer-wannabes, so the references to "Moleskine" don't really resonate with me.
But I do love pens. Apparently, foutain pens are being used for writing, which sounds like a pain in the inkwell, if you ask me. Still, no matter how terrible the writing, neat penmenship is an achivement in itself. Something to be proud of.
I actually have a favorite type of pen. Not being a writer (even a pretend-writer), I can't speak to the its performance during extended use, but it's good for jotting notes, grocery lists, and the like. The full name of it (according to Amazon.com) is: Pilot(R) Precise(TM) V5 Liquid Ink Rollerball Pen, Extra-Fine Point, 0.5 mm, Black.
Ask for that at your local stationers. They'll probably have them in bales of 100.
