R.A.W. Ink (P.Blog #1)

Sorry reader, I have to be honest by saying it's excessively difficult to write with a pencil on paper. It's like speaking with a sore throat or playing a sport that's ball is low on air. Trying to pen spin with a pencil may also result in splinters. In fact, writing with a pencil is so horrible I waited 24 hours just to get a pen to continue this entry with this sentence. Something about the ink on the ball point tip that just glides effortlessly. Pencil seems to carve through paper like earth's plates do California. Ink is gentle whilst firm, and permanent. It shows effort towards what you write and that you're not scared to make non-erasable mistake.

There seems to be 3 things that have been inspired from the usual pen. One it's most likely why red sharpies were invented. What's better than corrections with a red pen? a thumb-sized, thick pointed paper leaking a series of red icons. From your 'paragraph goes here' marks to your 'lowercase' or 'period goes here' marks, it's noticeable and has forever changed proof-reading. Second, pens in English is a must but during math is a no Seeing x's and other corrections are better in English since it only shows growth in writing / reading skills. For math, where you're out to get the problems right? , not so much. Third: No.2 pencils are literally the number 2, mechanical pencils are fake pens, and ink > lead. Doing Pre-Calc with ink and no case of white-out in site.
