    More often than not gently heating the tip of the pen with a lighter will revitalise it. It’s worth a shot before throwing it out.

    As a lefty I can confidently say fuck all pens. The sharpie gel one I use is alright but ball points just don’t work for those of us who push the ball when we write instead of dragging it. It’s like every pen I use is out of ink.

      Turn the page about 45 degrees clockwise, you’ll write more straight across the page and the pen will work better because you’re not pushing it. Experiment until you find the angle that works best for you.

      Additional bonus: No more smudges on your hand/the page.

    Hot damn stationary turns me on.

    Not that shit though, that’s torture footage.

    Pilot G2 best pen ever, unless one ascends to felt tips.

    Uniball eye fine

    I’ve used the same one for 3 years at work and it only just started to run out, so I got another.
