Another good one, Cheryl. I have never thought of writing on my skin in the middle of the night, but certainly would be less disturbing. Good idea! Great column!

I agree that the advertising Bic pens write more smoothly than the storebought Bics. Why is that?

Cheryl — Rollerball, hands down. And not just any rollerball, but a Uniball Vision Elite. Too bad they weren’t invented when I wrote thousands of pages in journals using a cheap BIC pen! Great story—even though most writers today use computers, the search for a perfect writing instrument is endless and eternal. We’ve lost something in the transition from pen and paper (or skin, though I tend to be long-winded and would anon run out of space) to the magic of computers, but every now and then I find great pleasure in just writing in an old-fashioned spiral notebook. A good pen is a joy forever.

This was neat to read Cheryl. I could identify on some level. Not writing on my skin, but I got the feel anyway. It’s like you share bits of your life through your words so well that they become part of your readers’ lives.
