A Cool Pen with a Cool Website

There is something to be said about writing with pen and paper.  I do a lot of my writing (both music and prose) on paper before I put it on the computer.  There are some things that I don't put on the computer (personal notes, letters, journals, etc.) and I like to use special pens/pencils for this.  Currently, for my journal and special letters, I use a cut nib pen (used for calligraphy) and 24lb. resume paper (looks cool).  I also use a special water-resistant (I think that's called waterproof) ink. 

When I'm out and about, I carry with me a Wellspring flip notes which I use constantly to write on the go.  And I would recommend it for anyone who needs a small very durable notebook to carry with them.  I have also found a new pen.  It is called Lamy.  It also has nib style (fountain pen) that I like.  (It also has ball point).  If you're a pen person (like me) check out their site, I have to give them some credit, it's quite creative (not the usual boring company site that only has one objective: their product).  I have to confess, I haven't got one of these pens yet, and so don't know how well it holds up, but it's cheap and looks pretty cool.

DUDE!!! It looks like a pen that has a paperclip stuck at the end of it. ;)

I have my favorite pens as well and my favorite notebooks. My favorite notepads/notebooks are the ones that lift up. I think the reason for this is because of the ease to get on the back side of the paper. I am a save a tree kind of gal so I tend to write on both sides of a note pad if I can. The other thing about it is they are mainly small so when I get a brainstorm it is easily accessible!
