I had a terrible case of writer's block for today. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't seem to get anything going so I did the logical thing and wasted some time on the internet. After a few crappy YouTube videos and scouring ESPN for anything of worth I hopped on Wired.com and found my muse.
As an aspiring writer I have several weaknesses for pointless items. Pens and notebooks top the list. I have lusted after Moleskin notebooks and Monte Blanc pens since the first time I saw them in use. My Account Supervisor during my internship used to rock a black Moleskin notebook and a black Monte Blanc pen, and they were awesome. The fact that someone figured out a way to take the "experience" of writing with a $200 pen and make it available to us common folk thrills me to no end.
I'm not saying there is any actual benefit to using a $200 pen, but in my mind that thing writes better than anything else I have ever used. I found this little hack particularly pertinent since I had just finished writing a page of intentionally terrible copy for rollerball pens touting their superiority over other writing devices.
Now that I'm writing with such high quality materials, I wholeheartedly expect writer's block to become a thing of the past. I mean, really, who gets writer's block when using ridiculously overpriced supplies...Not this guy!
