Facebook status update: Heidi is once more convinced that the right pen can solve just about any writing problem.

I'm behind on a writing deadline and I am trying to catch up today. I'll admit the prospect of spending today writing was making me a little cranky. My crankiness was also, I knew, the reason why I was spinning my writerly wheels. Over the years, I've developed a few tricks and today I pulled out the tried and true "writing with a lovely pen can make any writing task do-able and enjoyable." Today's weapon of choice: the new Elysee medium nib in older Elysee body with black Parker ink. Result: A less cranky Heidi and a map out of my writer's block and a good start at finishing. While taking a break, I started pondering my pens and took a few photos.
