Favourite writing tool

[Celtore 2,770]

So what's your writing tool of choice? I tried to be as inclusive and specific as possible, but this insensitive clod probably missed something.

 

For myself, it has to be the mechanical pencil. It is such genius  when you examine it next to a regular pencil. It doesn't have graphite embedded in it, it's added into a chamber for temporary storage until it's needed. You don't need to pull out a pencil sharpener and try futilely to get a sharp point while the graphite breaks each time you get close. For a mechanical pencil, you click a button, shake the pencil or it might automagically feed out for you. Convenience and simplicity.

 

It doesn't have nearly the same amount of class as a fountain pen though, but I can't really use those anyway. They're great writing tools too, but I don't want to risk them leaking in my pocket... Since I'm so frequently on the move, that's my container for writing tools, usb dongles, etc.

FOUNTAIN PEN, B****

 

JK I USE KEYBOARDS

[Visual Spectrum 1,932]

I can't write with a fountain pen. 

 

Being left handed sucks

 

I prefer yellow pencil. I know, I'm boring. 

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

I normally use the AK-47. Nothing writes better than some FMJ 7.62x39.

 

 

 

As for classroom writings, either the bizon pp-19 (in 9mm NATO), or the H&K mp5a5 (in 10mm auto).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and pencils, wooden pencils are cool.

[Phoenix Flair 332]

Well, I used to favor mechanical pencils with 0.7 lead, but now with physical writing I go for ball point pens.  I prefer the hexagonal-shaped ones with blue ink.  Although I'm also pretty darn fast on the keyboard as well.  Is it weird that I'm that specific with my writing instruments?

I prefer a keyboard.  If I am not using a keyboard I end up most likely using a bic pen, but regardless my handwriting leaves much to be desired and I probably write out checks as often as I do other things written.

[Celli 4,356]

I prefer ballpoint pens, because they feel smoother when I write with one. 

[Haruhi-chan 488]

Mine is my iPad and a stylus. :3 I use it for writing all my stories because it's easier. I get wrist cramps from writing, but it also helps my organization skills too.

Oh all right, I'll be serious! I prefer the keyboard, but when that's not available, I default to mechanical pencil.   

[SparklingSwirls 21,609]

I like mechanical pencils. Pens are nice too, but if you make a mistake then you can't erase with them

[iceestarz 5,847]

Ballpoint pen.

 

I usually write with one cause my handwriting will look on point with one.

 

If one isn't with me I'll use a mechanical pencil.

[Hurricane 159]

Mechanical pencils. I can't write with anything less than .9 lead. I break everything else to fast. One time, I was using my friend's .5 lead pencil and I couldn't even get through the word "Hi" without breaking it.

[Sigma 768]

A fancy gel pen here. Pencils break on me too easily, and everything else you listed is either situational or just plain impractical.

 

I also choose gel over ink because the words written using gel look as if they were printed on the paper. It's really neat.

[Odyssey 5,721]

Mechanical pencils. I pretty much use them for anything, from writing to drawing. The fact that you can use as much lead as you like instead of waiting for the pen/yellow pencil to run out helps a lot.

[Smokie-Horse 83]

I use an Artline fine-line pen, usually around 0.4mm thickness, for drawing and writing alike. If nothing else it's a good excuse for my equally poor skills at both.

[The Crimson Cross 7,533]

Quill and ink of course! Was there ever any other options?! Nah, jk jk! Too hard for me probably.

 

Just the classic Ballpoint pen will do for me. Mainly because I'm used to it. Though the pencil can be quite useful for precise sketching and shading that a pen could otherwise not do. But generally the ballpoint pen is my go to for just about anything!

[Azure Envy 1,093]

Rollerball pens or mechanical pencils, 0.5mm

[Foxx 258]

Ballpoint pens are my BFFs! 

[SwigglySwiggly 359]

Writing swear words with a fountain pen in elegantly beautiful handwriting is somewhat funny.

But fountain pens have similar style to quills and dip pens.

I like mechanical pencils (0.7 mm). Edited October 6, 2014 by -Flutterbat-

[DubWolf 20,692]

I tried pen once, but a lot of things I write may require reorganization later, and you normally can't erase ink. I tried mechanical pencils, but sometimes the leads won't come out or get stuck inside.

 

Just the world's best pencil and a good sharpener do it for me .

[Jeric 46,894]

Scrivener is my favorite writing tool hands down.

[Snow Frostflame 3,571]

I prefer a standard pencil

[Invincible 2,092]

Ballpoint pen. Simple, cheap, and efficient.
