Writer's Workshop

Everyone has to write for school, work, or fun.  But what tools do you use?  This week I will post on pens, pencils, and everything in between to solve your writing conflicts.
PENS:  Pens come in both erasable and non-erasable varieties.  The erasable kind tend to be hard to use.  The non-erasable kind are nice in texture most of the time, and are normally necessary for final drafts of hand-written essays.  Many people like to erase their work, and for these people I recommend pencils, although, on the bright side, there's always White-Out.
PENCILS:  Pencils are always erasable with the exception of most colored types.  For most multiple-choice exams, number 2 pencils (the most common type) are used.  The different varieties of darkness and thickness of pencils are normally only used in art, as are colored pencils.  Mechanical pencils are easy to use because they don't require to be sharpened, however lead for these is often very expensive.
MARKERS:  These aren't usually used to write with because of their often big tips and colors.  Their ink can go through paper, so these are used only for drawing, highlighting, and decorations most of the time.
Although there aren't too many types of writing utensils, the conflict between pens and pencils has always existed, and, as far as I can tell, always will.  But even if this conflict does exist, I hope This or That helped solve your personal decision about writing utensils.
