It’s the Monthly Blog Hop for the Insecure Writers Support Group founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh.
The first Wednesday of every month, an optional question is announced that members can answer in their IWSG post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience, or even a story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say. Remember, this question is optional
The awesome co-hosts for the December 3 posting of the IWSG are Tara Tyler, Ronel Janse van Vurren, Pat Garcia, and Natalie Aguirre
December 3 Question: As a writer, what was one of the coolest/best gifts
you ever received?
I got a gorgeous gift of a pen one Christmas...
From my best friend, also a writer.
She said she has one just like it...
And uses it all the time when she writes.
Beautiful, no?
And I love it, yes!
But sadly...
I don’t use it.
It’s been sitting in a ceramic jar with all my other pens and pencils for several years now..
Why?
Because I’m very specific about the pens I use.
It’s not about the price, the quality, or how beautiful a pen is...
For me it’s how it feels in my hand...
Like the thickness when I hold it...
I like my pens to be more sleek...
And fit slimly in my hand.
I also like fine pen points — .7 to be exact.
I like the ink to flow freely...
But not a gel pen.
And it can’t weigh heavy between my fingers.
Me?
My pen preference?
BIC Diamente...
It’s actually made here in Mexico.
One of many countries where they’re made.
And you?
What’s the coolest/best gift you ever received”
And what’s your pen preference?
Always,
Em-Musing
From me here in the Riviera Maya
To all of you in the IWSG.
