Running ‘em dry



I love stationary. Fancy is fine, but give me a tidy stack of 3x5s and I’m just as happy. I buy pens in bulk, and until recently I would run out of pens mainly because they would be spread around the house and lost. These days with mostly grownups we don’t run through pens at the same rate or in the same way. If this were Redwall I’d call it “The Season  of the Dry Pen.” I’m writing. They are writing. We are all thoughtful enough to wear pens out before they are thrown out. 

I like it. It feels like progress after years of chasing time, opportunity and stationary products I am now producing work and making efficient use of my tools. It’s a different life, and I like it.
