Writing Tools I Actually Use
Computers are a necessary evil but they lack the personality of graphite, ink, and paper.
Writing Utensils
Blackwing 602 Pencils
There’s something about the feeling of pen-on-paper that gets me all hot and bothered. There’s also the fact that writing by hand improves information recall and critical thinking. Google it. Then getchu some of these beauties.
Baron Fig Squire Pen
If I’m on-the-go or know I’ll be somewhere that sharpening a pencil will be a pain in the asterisk, this is my weapon of choice. Ever written on silk with a stick of butter? I hope not. But this is probably what it would feel like.
Blackwing Pencil Sharpener
Few things are as satisfying as taking a sad, dull pencil and reshaping it into a graphite gladius that’s ready to do battle in the Colosseum, slay the procrastination demon, and bring glory to your name.
Writing Vehicles
Karst Stone Paper Sketchpad
Something something…written in stone. #punaccomplished
Seriously though. These things are awesome. The pages are smooth, waterproof, and don’t leave you with the crushing guilt of knowing that you killed a tree and displaced a family of fluffy squirrels.
Leuchtturm917 Hardcover Notebook
Better than Moleskine in every way. Yeah, I said it. And I meant it. Don’t try to change my mind because it’s not gonna happen.
Minimal feathering and bleed-through? Yup. Numbered pages? Check. Unpronounceable name? Ja! Danke, Deutschland.
