The humble writing implement

#12 Pens

Choose a type of pen you may not have used before or are unfamiliar with – and take it for a test drive. There are all types of fountain pens, ballpoints, gels and roller balls to choose from – so go into one of those delightful shops hidden away in an arcade and look at the wide array available.

Your task is to provide helpful information to pen buyers within a monthly office supplies type magazine – which strangely enough – has a pen column in it!!. Be specific and tell your audience why you feel a pen deserves the ratings you have given it, and what makes the pen different from others you have used. The more specific and helpful the review, the more likely it will assist others in choosing the right pen for their needs.

I'm partial to one certain type of pen, the Pilot EasyTouch - and it has to be blue ink. I was a nurse for 20 years and we could only chart in black ink, so I hate using black ink. I've also tried gel pens and roller pens, but I just can't get used to them.
