the stick ones make my handwriting look the best but they hurt you after three hours of writing because of the plastic outside

I use mega cheapo pens that I buy in bulk from office works. I went through one pen :) I love those costly ink ones...but they run out too soon and bleed through my cheapo schoolbooks.

im with bigangrywoman, theres these heaps cool ones from woolies that are super cheap and come in packs, the BIC CRYSTAL M..and they are really good..my hand hurts by the end coz they are plastic, but im left handed (screw you too, i can hear what you are all saying ;) ) so all the gel and felt tip ones are still wet as my hand rests on them while im writing my next word, creating smudginess, which is not good ;)

i find that the cheap pens never actually "run out" they just stop working.... the ink separates and doesnt get to the tip, or when you write only half the word comes out....
the best pen i find it this nice thin pilot one... "better retractable" i think its called... i find that i write neater with thin pens whose ink isnt too dark... medium pens are often too inky and my writing is illegible... i have this other pilot pen with the grip but its medium and i cant really write with it but i had no choice because woolies didnt sell my fav pen!!!!!!!

I find they are tempremental at time. i have one where you cannot see any ink in it anymore but it still works! Others just never start working. When you get a good one though you stick with it!
