From Kate’s Writing Crate…
(This is an unpaid recommendation.
I just like these pens for writing.)
A
friend recommended Uni-Ball click gel pens to me at a magazine meeting. She had
one so I tried it and loved it. First, it is extremely lightweight—great if you
like to write by hand for any extended time like filling a notebook a month. Second, the nibs come in various
sizes so I can write boldly when I’m being creative and more precisely when editing
or writing lists, notes, and checks. Third, the ink dries very quickly so few
smudges. And fourth, it also comes in a super ink so prevents check fraud as it
can’t be washed off.
I like strong
bold lines when I write creatively. I like blue ink (although also comes in
black, red, and purple).
Due to its
light weight, I’m not getting a painful writer’s callous on my middle finger
any longer. Hooray!
Another
Uni-Ball pen I like is the bold AIR which writes at any angle. It comes in blue, black, and red. I use
the blue ones to write in my books—marginalia and underlining. Again, light
weight. Again, ink dries quickly. Reminds me of a precise eyeliner. Doesn’t
bleed through to the next page in books so far. (However, it does in my
notebooks so I don’t use them there.) It’s perfect for making notes for future
book recommendations.
All of that
makes my writing life easier.
