What is your preferred writing utensil?

[SparklingSquirrels 21,345]

I like pencils better since I can erase if I make a mistake. I especially like mechanical pencils so I don't have to sharpen them

[Odyssey 5,716]

I'm more of a pencil person. You can erase the mistakes of a pencil, as well as using it for different kinds of things like drawing. Plus, I honestly think that pen writing looks rather messy.

[cmarston1 5,959]

Definitely Pencils as they can erase and be erased when I make mistakes.

Too bad my handwriting isn't too good though.

[Peppermint Larry 203]

It depends. If I'm writing something, and I want it to last forever, like, a card or note to somebody, I'll use pen.

For everything else, however, it's always going to be a mechanical pencil.

 

I am in love with the Zebra F-301 Stainless Steel Retractable Ballpoint pen and the Zebra M-301 Stainless Steel Mechanical pencil.

I've always liked using the pencil, but I can use the pen also.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

when drawing I prefer pencils.... like any normal person....

 

when writing I prefer black pens because I hate the sound pencils make.....

[Lisa 5,553]

Pens. I hate having to sharpen pencils every 5 minutes because they either go blunt or the tip breaks, it's really frustrating.

A stylus for my stone tablet

 

I don't have a preference between pencil and pen. Though, pens do feel better to write with.

[luftschloss 831]

Mechanical pencil for drawing... easily a pen for writing. The school I went to always had us write in pen, so I learned quickly not to make any mistakes because I couldn't fix them. 

 

I also just love the feel of the ink on paper. I'm weird, I know.  :grin2:

[Side Bird 566]

My hand writing is like a 3rd graders so I prefer a pencil x3.

[Luna the Great of all the Russias 2,986]

Vast majority of times .5mm mechanical pencil; don't like using pen and don't like using traditional pencil.

Tried using mechanical pencils?

Whenever I'm writting for something serious, like homework and such, I prefer a pen, due for its more professional look at the end.

 

If i'm just messing around, I'l use a pencil.

[Honsou 399]

In my profession, the pencil is unauthorized. So, for the last 7 years, I've used nothing but black ink pens. I don't see the reason for pencil anymore, unless you are in high school, an artist, or an engineer.

A phoenix feather.

 

Oh, no, no, no, wait--a feather from the Angel of Valhalla.

 

But seriously, I always used erasable pens for most writing, but I'm also an artist, and do fine pencil drawings with an assortment of Prismacolor grays, and other various neato pencils.

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

Pens, but not just any pens. Specifically the Pilot G-2, preferably an ultra fine point or an extra fine point. Regardless of the make and model pin, I don't like medium and bold points. They make lines way too thick and messy for everyday writing.

[_GLaDOS_ 102]

Pencils.

Because I'm simple and classy that way.

[Gernia 691]

I pretty much always use pencils, unless I'm writing a something formal or my signature.

[Canary Yellow 85]

I like to write in colours like yellow and pink.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Mechanical pencil all the way. Ive been using those bad boys for sooo long. I just like the lead and how it works, but I hate how the eraser does that smearing black stuff thing when it gets really short.

I once had a pen with an eraser that ACTUALLY WORKED. Ive never come across one erasable pen that worked, Id love to get more of those but I happened to find it by chance like all my other writing utencils.

Drawing with a pencil, and writing with a Montblanc pen, to look all professional and stuff. 

[LittleMac 3,085]

A black pen.

Under no circumstances should it be blue!

[The Pink One 595]

Drawing in Pencil and Pen ..; But writing in Pencil, unless I have my fountain pen ...

[Sommar 1,289]

I like pens better because they go on paper smoothly and I just love the look and feel of a pen in my hand. I rarely use pencils because the graphite gets on the side of my hand and sometimes a smuge the graphite on my paper, making a mess.

[Lunia 332]

Pencils, I feel I have more control with them and if I want I can always erase. 

[gone~ 614]

I like the feeling of a pen when I'm writing ^^
