I’m not a regular writer of sonnets or haikus, but I’m still a firm believer in the power of creative constraints: variations on a theme, say, or a new way to look at old subjects.
That’s why I’m looking forward to experimenting with a new occasional Thursday series about writing instruments. Not only is the subject interesting, but it’s also broad and deep, with lots of historical richness. (Glass pens! Feathers! The ancient PowerBook I used in high school!)
Before I get started, however, I’d like to get your opinion: what writing instruments are you most interested in? Is there anything in particular about our own products or their history you’d like to know? Thoughts and feedback richly appreciated…
