Do you have preferences as to the type of pen (ie biro, fountain pen etc) and the colour of ink (ie blue, black etc) that you write with?
I like to use a biro since fountain pens are messy and also i'm left handed so have to use a pen what won't smudge easily. I don't mind using either black or blue ink, i tend to just use whichever i have to hand, and sometimes will have phases as to which colour i use.

I tend to prefer writing with black ink rather than blue, though to be honest I don't know why! I always use biro thugh - fountain pens are too messy and haven't got the patience for them!!

I tend to use biros most off the time, the colour doesn't really matter I'll both black or blue whichever is to hand.
Although I don't know why, I'll always write birthday & christmas cards with a fountian pen and blue ink.

i like the ballpoint pens. like bic, blue ones those are cool. i like the gel pens, the colors and everything, but i dont really like how they write. im really attracted to colors so if i see a pack of colored ballpoint pens, the bic kind i ll get them.

I like black ink and one of those roller ball pens that has a very tiny tip. They sometimes leak, but they write very smoothly. But these days I usually just use any pen I can find laying around since my husband tends to take them to work with him.

oh,it is hard to say.
it is long time to use foutain pen.when i was a junior student(9 grade) ,i often use it with my teacher's words:practice your words rightly.
aha, it is a shy thing.
from that on,i use biro instead.
i think it is convenient.
in fact, i like fountain pen.it is just unconvenient .
if oneday you forget to fill it with ink...
once a time,i like use fountain with blue and black mixed ink.
now i use pen less .
i use computer instead.

I prefer to use a pen that fits my mood. Sometimes I'll use a pen with a Parker refill. Other times, I'll use a brightly-colored or metallic gel pen.
Other times, I'll throw a fit because I've used up all of my glossy paper and I'll stop writing until I get more.

I never gave this so much thought until I saw your question.
I type most of the time and don't write.
When I do write, I use mostly pens. I like black ink. I was never into pink or red ink. Some type of pens do smudge and make a mess, even though I am not not left handed--if you don't let the ink dry fast enough it will smudge.

I love my good Bic pens..the ones I use are called Shimmers..they come in purple, pink, turquoise, and lime green..they are bright and look so pretty on paper..also, I love gel ink pens..the ink is kind of thick and milky, and on paper, it takes it a little while to dry, but they look beautiful on black paper..

I like using multi-colored ink pens... the kind with the blue, black, red, and green. It's nice to take notes with those. More colors are even better. I just like ball point pens for the most part. I'm both handed, but I don't smudge with either hand since my hand doesn't rest on the page as I write.

I like to use black or blue ball point pens.Those types of pens seem to be the smoothest to write with.
