Most Attentively

In my day job, I work for a biographical publishing company and I have the pleasure of interviewing successful professionals every day.  In one interview I asked a woman why she became a writer.  She told me that the blank page listens most attentively, and I couldn't agree more. 

I used that phrase as my writing sample for today.  Pens listed below.

  1. Pilot G-2 0.5  Black
  2. Pilot Juice 0.38  Turquoise Green
  3. Uni-ball Signo DX 0.38  Navy
  4. Uni-ball Signo  0.38  Brown Black
  5. Uni-ball Signo DX 0.38  Yellow
  6. Pilot Frixon Ball Clicker 0.7  Turquoise
  7. Zebra Sarasa Clip 0.4 Grey
  8. Pilot G-2 0.38  Black
  9. Copic Multiliner 0.5  Olive

    I share your concern about the future of handwriting. How will we be identified at the bank if our signature isn’t required? Facial recognition??

      I think my bank already knows me by account #. My signature never seemed to matter. But please come write with us, Helen. Or share old letters or notes?

    Ooh. I like the bold lines of the Copic multiliner (I have a set of Copic pens and love them). I like this quote - to be committed to memory, I think!
