Featured Favorite Writing Product #1: BIC Round Stic Grip Xtra Comfort-Blue
This year, I'm starting something new: on the last Wednesday of every month, my blog post will feature a different product that is essential to my writing process! This will be a wide range of products, so be prepared to see all the random but essential tools I use to make every step of my writing process run as smoothly as possible. I will also include links for the products, and when at all possible, I'll try to include an Amazon link and a link to the manufacturer's website as well.
First up this month:
BIC Round Stic Grip Xtra Comfort Medium Point Ballpoint Pens-Blue
Listen, I don't know what anybody else writes with, but these right here are the truth! There's nothing like that built-in comfort grip on these pens. BIC is known for its smooth writing and ink that's consistent until the very last drop, and these are no exception. Listen, y'all... I fight about these pens. You can't get me for my ink pen when one of these is involved 'cause I'm watching you like a hawk the whole time you have it. Honestly, I don't even loan these out. I keep a BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth or a BIC Round Stic Xtra Life in purse for people to borrow because you not gone walk off with my Xtra Comfort.
These are the pens I use when I'm handwriting manuscripts, and yes, I do still handwrite my manuscripts. My thoughts flow the smoothest when I handwrite, so I stick with what works best for me, and handwriting my books with these pens seems to be that perfect formula Plankton was so desperately searching for.
This pen comes in different colors, and even though most people try to stick to black, baby, I love me a blue pen. I write everything in blue! If I'm ever given a choice, it's always blue for me. You can keep the black.
Now, this isn't the only ink pen I use, but we'll talk about my other favorite pens in another post. For purposes of writing manuscripts, though, and even in everyday writing, this is my go-to pen. If I can't find it in stores, I order a box off Amazon, and they last me quite a while because yes, I absolutely do use these pens one at a time until they run out of ink.
Want to try them out yourself? Here are the links!

Alternatives I've used and loved:

There's also a pen (it may not be BIC) that's three-sided instead of round that I used for a while, but I can't find a link for those. If you're able to find those, drop the link in the comments!
