[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Cristal ReNew Re-Fillable Pen and 2 Refills, Black
Today is National Ball Point Pen Day, which seemed like a good time to another pen blog – and to start making it more of a habit. And there’s nothing more classic on National Ball Point Pen Day than a BIC stick pen. Today we’re talking about the BIC Cristal ReNew Re-Fillable Pen. I know […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Vacation Edition
I’m on vacation this week. Normally, this would be a Headless Chicken running around week, but with the pandemic and all events being canceled, it’s not. This week I should’ve been in an utter panic of finishing up plans for FenCon, but I’m not. I’m actually on vacation (the event may have been canceled by […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Gelocity Stick Pen – 10 count – 0.5mm
Today’s pen is something that caught my eye at Office Max (yes, I know) – the BIC Gelocity 0.5mm stick pens. It’s a fairly typical, disposable rollerball that came in a 10 pack with multiple colors. Since BIC tends toward the bolder point sizes, having a 0.5mm as an option meant I snatched it up. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Baux Pen Company
This week’s pen review is going to be a little bit different. It’s a pen, but with no writing sample – for reasons that shall become clear. This particular pen was a birthday gift from Jimmy through a Kickstarter project so there’s going to be a few unusual bits. The pen comes from the same […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC 3 Color Pen Plus Pencil
I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine point pens and pencil. I’m still NOT a fan of the default 1.0mm ballpoints and 0.7mm pencils are okay but… However… sometimes you gotta try stuff when it looks interesting. This
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Star Wars Collection
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a Star Trek girl. I grew up on it. I learned storytelling from it. My first FanGirl crush was on DeForest Kelly as Dr. McCoy. BUT…BUT…I have a lot more Star Wars STUFF. I like Star Wars, I do. It’s mindblowing what it’s been able to accomplish and invent, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Meeting My Supply Room’s George Fox
Today’s pen blog is a bit different. Saturday, Jimmy and I did a road trip to Killeen, TX to meet up with fellow pen/pencil collector and blogger, George Fox of My Supply Room. There’s a typical feeling among writers about being a fraud or poser… yeah, that was me meeting George and walking into his […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC 4-Color Pen + Stylus
I know I’ve complained loudly about pen manufactures (BIC and Papermate, I’m looking at you) defaulting to larger and larger ballpoint sizes. I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine points. I’m still NOT a fan of the default 1.0mm ballpoints. However… sometimes you gotta try stuff when it looks interesting. This looked interesting. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Cristal Bold Rerun with Explanation
This is going to be a rerun post, because I totally left a bunch of pens at home that I might still need to do, and it’s yoga night. HOWEVER… I’ve been drawn today to a basic BIC Cristal stick pen – which I believe is the 1.0mm in the writing sample at the end […]
