Generic Refills

Some buyers of smooth-writing Generic Refills for Livescribe pens (from eBay) will see post marks from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where I was just on vacation! The post office is right across the street from the Wright Brothers’ Memorial so it was very convenient.  I think during the summer, this post office is very busy servicing all the tourists. Things were pretty calm when I was there writing a post card to Mom and dropping off refills.  Hand written packing slips ’cause I didn’t have access to a printer.

I love pens.  You probably love pens too, if you’re reading this.  Just what is it about writing with a pen that makes it so … enjoyable?  and why is it so different than typing on an iPad or composing at the computer?  Not everyone loves pens and writing, you’ve probably been teased by them.  You get blank looks when you talk about the balance of your favorite writing instrument or looks of irritation when you wince while using their stick pen with a scratchy tip and globby ink.  A good pen and ink will help your thoughts flow from your mind onto paper, bringing them to life, freeing them from your imagination.
