For me, the trick is to make sure nobody else in the house is aware that I have pens 😂 If I tell a soul, then all of my pens end up in the Twilight Zone loll!

My mom has recently been getting the pentel energel rtx liquid gel pens but I'm having a hard time adjusting to them haha I've loved the Piolet G2 pens (gold) for years but lately they seem to be drying up wayyy too quickly. So I think I'm going to have to conform lol!

Pens are the best! Also, the Trump one is my favorite of all your displayed fun pens 😂

The Tump pen is fun because it's not just a pen. It's a toy!

I’m a Pilot G-2 girl--a #7 for most writing, but #10 for signing things. I’m left handed, so all pens are a little tricky, but I’ve managed to master using these!

I usually use a sharpie for signing things, but I’ve learned since publishing my first novel that sharpies are great for picture book pages, but the EnerGel is better for novel pages!

Carrie likes a fine Sharpie, but I realized it bled through--and so the move to G-2 10s!

I appear to collect dead unworking pens, that are the only ones I can find when I really need a working pen.

Haha! This is why refillable pens are a good investment!

I came here to say the same thing! I have a drawer just for all the refills. I love that pen.

I buy a bunch of colors: black, blue, blue-black, green, brown. When one runs out, I grab whatever the next one is, and it's a fun roulette to see what I get.

What I get from this is, I need to buy you more pens. Didn’t I give you that teddy bear one?

Also, I can never turn my back on my G2. They got me through high school! And college! And mine is limited edition!

You may have given me the teddy bear one. It’s all dried out, unfortunately.

Yes! I also love pens. I like ink that glides and my overall affordable favorite is the Pentel Finito! x-tra fine porous point pen with black ink.

I don’t collect novelty pens but I do have a wide variety of micro pens, gel pens and cartridge pens.

I know we could be friends
