Pens Week: Erase Your Work

Pens don't scratch like pencils do. Especially when they've roller ball pens. Pens tend to glide. This is much of the reasoning on why I enjoy pens so much. Problem with pens: pens create a permanency. Pens don't tend to be erasable. These are. They aren't the norm. Or, should I write, they weren't the norm. There are countless options in erasable pens nowadays. There are so many options at this Amazon link that it seems too difficult to scroll through & locate the "original", singular option: black or blue ink with a cap that had an eraser engineered to erase ink, & all its faults, attached.

These just might be the closest comparable, though their eraser is white & the erasers on the pens of days gone by I don't recall as white, rather as being the same color as the ink it'd held within.

I'm a mix of being jealous that these weren't an option back when I was writing down lots of things in a classroom & copiously writing out my studies, being excited that they do exist now, & being elated that, despite this technology age we're living in, that there's hope. Hope that simple things like the flare of various writing instruments still remains & is still being developed into much more than it's been in the past.

I've no idea of the eraser quality of today's engineer talent, though I do recall that, back in the day, one flaw my meticulous mindset took to was that those erasers didn't wipe it all away. There'd be "ink residue" or a smug. Some type of evidence that someone had made a blemish & was now trying to cover for it.

Alas, these are the things that led me to writing with led.
