Use of a - P E N C I L...

I really cant tell when last i have used a pencil, unless for drawing. But for writing, it has been a long while. I guess i just did not realize. Maybe i feel the mature instrument is pen and so i am sticking to the pen.

Hey Busybee, Yes, I too remember using pencils for learning to write when at school. Then as I grew up, I used Ink Pens and later they were replaced with the Ball Point pens. today they are using Gel Pens... I preferred writing with Ink Pens but now they are expensive to use and there is not much choice when you go to buy one in the stores. However, in 2005 I was at the Military Academy invited to train 60 soldiers on Computers and its use at Offices. I found that everyone in the class, used pencils. Even I was handed a pack of White Pencils that I was to use during the training sessions. I felt re-living my school days. So today when I write, I still use a pencil. It is something that connects me to my early school days which I miss!

I like writing using a very sharp pencil. If I do have a chance I still use a pencil to write stuff. What's weird is, I like smelling pencils.

I use pencils pretty much. The reason is, mistakes can be corected simply by erasing hehehe,.

i too miss my days when we competed for a better pencil and a sharp tip..i sometimes use pencil..and ink pen too

Oh,yes I love pencils. My fav is Mongol No.2, the yellow one with a perfect eraser head?! I used to draft all my articles with a pencil,make an outline with it and chapter breakdowns of my novels but now with my computer, I seldom do that. My pencils now lie in my pencil holder and I just stare at them sometimes and you know what? They bring back good memories enough to inspire me to write a good stuff!

This is actually pretty interesting to think about. I use pens to write at my job, however, I do keep old-fashioned wood pencils around my house to use for certain things. I like to build things, and pencils work better for writing on wood and other materials than a pen does. I also like to use pencils for other writing tasks when I am not at work, because I can erase mistakes that I make. The only thing that I don't like about the wooden pencils for doing a lot of writing is that you have to stop to sharpen it regularly (not to mention all the trees that are cut to produce them every year), so I usually keep a few mechanical pencils around in case I want to use a pencil to do a lot of writing instead of a pen for some reason. I also keep a few of those large carpenter's pencils around for writing on lumber and things when I need them. The leads in these pencils are larger than a normal writing pencil, so they work better for writing on rough surfaces like lumber or metal...

I usually just use a pencil when I draw. And I don't like the sharp ones when I draw because I usually do shading.

I do remember those days and do get the chance of using it once in a while that is when vacations and she has some work to do other than that I never use a pen so pencil is really a far distant.

i still use my pencil these days because i usually draw an image of my bf when i miss him.

Well for me I like to use my ink pen to write with but I still some times use a pencil to write the grocery list some times.

If I feel like drawing, nothing beats a pencil. Some times I take notes with pencils; but, I prefer a pen for note taking.

I much prefer writing with a pen even though it does have the disadvantage that you cannot erase your mistakes. The writing from a pen seems much sharper and clearer than the writing from a pencil. Also you usually do not have to press as hard. The paper seems somehow cleaner. Pencils are great for drawing, doing crossword or sudoku puzzles, so I have both pens and pencils at home.

Wow is pretty to remember all our past.Is so funny while we are small.Our writing started with pencil to pen.Still i am using pencil to write, draw and paint.It is easy to erase , i used pen for signature and examination .But in this modern world most of them used computer.
