Antique Typewriters and Pens - Go Together Like Peanut Butter and Jelly
Atop my list of unique and thoughtful gifts is a pen given to me by a good friend and a fellow screenwriter and producer. I remember opening the gift and being overjoyed as I recognized immediately that it combined two of my passions – antique typewriters and quality pens.
Tokens & Coins uses authentic vintage Remington, Smith Corona, Underwood and Royal typewriter keys to create the QWERTY. At some point each of these typewriters has adorned my typewriter collection, making this pen even more precious to me. The QWERTY comes with your choice of 26 letters in a sterling silver fluted barrel or a black rubberized barrel.
My pen has the letter R and the rubber barrel. The ballpoint inks smoothly and the pen material and design offers a sturdy grip and a balanced weight. It’s perfect for long journal writing, meetings, or day-to-day office tasks around LitCentral. I’ve polished the sterling silver clip, cap and end a few times keeping it as spiffy as the day I received this wonderful gift. The QWERTY will remain in my collection for a long time to come. Thank you Heather!

Fisher Space Pen – Best Writing Pen for Travel
I love my collection of fountain pens. They ooze romance and the lore of good writing. But add cabin pressure to that starry-eyed vision and it becomes one gooey, ink-smeared mess! Amidst the friendly skies I’ve even had traditional roller ball and ink pens fail me, bringing an abrupt halt to a perfect time to write. Enter the Fisher Space Pen…
The Space Pen is not new to the market. It dates back to the October 1968 Apollo 7 mission and has been on display for years at the New York Museum of Modern Art. Nonetheless, it is a tool that should be in every writer’s tool belt because not only is it a perfect day-to-day pen, but also it is a great travel partner.

Yoropen - Hello Pen, Meet Innovation
Got Writer’s Bump?
That’s the ugly piece of skin that sits up like a pillow on your middle finger – the all-pervading callus of writers. If you use a pen on a daily basis or conduct long journal writing, you know what I’m talking about. The “comfort factor” in pen technology has seen little advancement in technology since the Sensa, and lefties are always out of luck. Until now…
