Pen Heaven!

Okay, so it's another pretty random post... My favourite fineliner & marker packed up today. Off to Pen Heaven they go...

Now I know that writing an idea down can be done in any number of ways, but you've got to admit everyone has their favourite type of pen - whether it's a fineliner, bullet tip or a trusty fat wedge marker. For some it's anything you can get your hands on, like a biro. How many do you go through?

For me it was the 'Pilot V5 Hightechpoint for finelining - these literally last FOREVER... until today! & the 'Pilot V Sign Pen' for the edging, possibly the nicest pen to write with but they just don't last much longer than a week.

There's always the old favourites - Sharpie, famous for writing on anything and going blunt extremely quickly & the N50 from Pentel, commonly recognised by the smell. Essential in any creatives stowaway.

Anyway, I've switched - Pilot V Ball BG-05 & aptly named 'Pilot Fineliner' for that particular purpose, I'll stick to the Sharpie & N50 for the edging.

I'm not for one moment saying a pen will help you churn out better ideas - that would be a lie, but it does help, in knowing that when you're on a roll with an idea, your pen isn't going to run out mid-flow.
