Words are hard. A good pen is easy.

The tactile glory of pencils

Using a pencil activates the senses. Sharpening requires a pleasant application of force, during which one can look out the window. Then, there's the smell of cedar (if you have a good pencil) and the sound of sharp point on soft paper. Many pencil users get in the habit of rotating the point as they write, so it wears down evenly.

For the writer who values mindfulness and serene surroundings, good pencils are a thoughtful choice.
