# Pencils: The New Trendy Scribe Tool

In the last year, I have used every trendy writing instrument that I have read about. Fisher Space Pens, G2 Gel Pens, Uni-Ball Signos, Uni-Ball Power Tanks, and even the old standby, the fountain pen.

In the last week, I have re-discovered the joy of the pencil. There is something liberating in using something so simple.

It's old-fashioned, but I love it.

Have you sharpened a pencil today?
