By writing instrument I mean something used primarily for writing, although of course you may draw with it or use it for emergency self defense as well.
For myself, and I expect for many others who come here, my favorite type of writing instrument is a fountain pen. I use these for my journal, work and personal notebooks, and just about anything else where I want to write in ink. Sometimes a ballpoint or a Sharpie is better for a specific task, of course.
But what about second favorites? In my case, it would be a mechanical pencil. I use these for drawing, for stop and start note taking in meetings or when on the phone, and for doing crossword puzzles, mostly from books.
Yes yes, I know. You do your crossword puzzles in ink. But that's only because you're awesome. I use a pencil.
So hopefully this poll shows correctly. What is your second favorite?
