Do you prefer writing with a pen or pencil ?

Sometimes when I write I have a very hard time on deciding which of the two I would like to use. Its almost to the point of being OCD. I just can't decide for some reason. Pencil can be erased, but you have to sharpen if every 10 minutes. Or if you're using a led pencil, you may run out of lead quickly.
You can write very smoothly using a pen, but the downside is that if you happen to make a mistake in your writing, the only thing you can do is use correction liquid, correction paper, or simply scratch it out. This will obliviously make your paper look messy.
Overall, I would prefer to write using a pencil simply because I can erase my mistakes

Whoaa, you draw with a pen? I can't even draw with a pencil.

I love writing with a pen. I don't have to press as hard to write as I do with a pencil. I like how my writing seems to flow when I'm using a pen, pencils can smear and don't write smoothly. Pens are just more comfortable to me.

I definitely prefer to write with a pen. For me to write with a pencil, it has to be very sharp and have a good eraser. I think the only times I prefer a pencil are when I am doing some form of math calculations. Pens for me are smoother and make my writing look neater.

I like a pencil.
I think I can write a better word by pencil.
And it is really look nice if I write by pencil,and it is easily to change the word.
However, it is usually not allowly in work, so bad.

I'va always kinda preferred writing with a pencil. I think it looks neater for me, because it doesn't write so easily... I think the toughness of the pencil on paper actually helps my handwriting. I also like being able to erase.
The problem with pencil is that, first of all, it's not professional. When you need to portray professionalism, then it's way more important to have a pen. Also, since I am left-handed, I tend to smudge because of how I was taught to write.
I still enjoy the pencil more than a pen, though.

I like writing with pen.It is smooth and i can write it really fast,but with pencil it gives a bit more friction or resistance to writing.Even if i use a pencil,sharpeninh is no problem for me because i use a pencil that are somewhat like ball point pens,you can just refill the lead when it runs out.
