Lefties and Office Supply Whores of the world unite! I prefer the Precise V5 Rolling Ball extra fine point, myself, color not an issue.

My father was switched to a rightie by nuns, too, although he still eats left-handed. I have a close friend who’s also a leftie, and she laughs at the way I write. She does the turn the hand upside-down thing to write, I write like a rightie, except the paper’s turned almost sideways. Makes it nearly impossible for me to write standing up.

I’m a waitress…and a writer. I’m right with you in the obsession with pens. My ultimate fave is actually ine I fin d in either the arts and craft section or in Phot sotres. It’s called Gelly Roll , Medium. Comes in many different colrs, and is great NO SMUDGE gel ink.

I love bright colored pens for marking up my manuscript and jotting notes. The uniball in fine is one of my favorites. And I love the MontBlanc I stole from my dh. (sh! don’t tell him!!)

And bright sticky notes. Lots of them! Colored highlighters. Always on the lookout for the perfect notebook for jotting down ideas (has to fold flat and have stiff cardboard)

Sigh. Hi, my name is kacey. I’m a OSSW too.

Mmmm - office supplies…

I have a Kathleen Long promotional pen that I got at Celebrate Romance that I LOVE (and yes, I’ll continue to buy her books just because I so love that pen). It’s a blue rollerball one - I don’t know what kind, but I’m hoping that she has more at Nationals.

And for edits, I love a red felt tipped marker (I think they’re papermate). I “borrowed” a bunch before I left my last job.

I’m usually not an OSSW but I recently got picky about my pens. I like the Rose Art X500 Ball Point. I have no idea how they do with rain or anything else though, because the only thing I write are these insane post-its, which have invaded my desk.

I just wanted to say I’ve tried every pen under the sun because I do A LOT of my writing by hand (yes, I know I’m crazy, thank you) and I love love love the Pilotvball. From one office supply slut to another …
