[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Grand – 0.7mm
This week’s pen review is another Zebra Sarasa. This one is the Grand in what Zebra calls navy blue, but I would call a dark teal. This is one of Zebra’s “business†class pens. This one I picked up at Office Max/Depot in Tyler, Texas as part of the birthday acquisitions. The Sarasa Grand has […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Office Depot TUL Blue Black Retractable
Day Job is busy. My niece’s birthday is today. My birthday is Saturday – people are asking me what I want/want to, and I have no idea. ConDFW is this weekend. AND we’re redoing our living room – so CHAOS!!!! AND, BAD PEN WRITER, BAD… as I was starting to plan my Birthday Pilgrimage to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] TUL Rectractable Pen – 0.5mm Red & Green Ink
Okay, so I know Office Max and Office Depot are technically the same thing, but I still think of them separately. Though, it’s getting harder. There’s one line that still exists in the Office Max Universe – the TUL pen line. Which makes me happy this holiday season, because I like their 0.5mm retractable pens. […]

[Writer Post] Choosing New Equipment – Chairs
So we’re in the market for a new desk chair for me. Last night we went to the major players–Office Max, Office Depot, and Staples. Sat in a lot of chairs. Scared a couple of salesmen, I think, and have come to the conclusion that chair shopping is much like car shopping. And just as […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Look at Ink
I’ve drawn a complete blank today where it’s come to this week’s pen-related review. I had a couple of notions that dried up, asked on Facebook. My uncle suggested a blog on refills. I wish I could do one as good as the one in the current issue of PENWORLD. There’s a big rollerball refill […]
Writing Post – Tools of the Trade
When it comes to writing , writers talk a lot about not simply the act of writing but the industry – publishing, marketing, etc. We talk about research and inspiration. We talk about when and where to give away your work – and more importantly, when NOT TO give away your work. There’s the “social†[…]
