Blog Review: Rhonda Eudaly

by TonyB on November 29, 2011

One thing that we’ve always tried to do here at the Tiger Pens Blog is focus not just on the writing instruments, but also on the things we do with them, whether it’s journaling, writing letters, drawing, or signing contracts.

See, while it’s fun to talk about all the unique little aspects of our favorite pens, we actually buy them for a reason, to express ourselves in ways both mundane and extraordinary. We enjoy pens and pencils not solely for themselves, but for what we can accomplish through them. That’s the whole point of a writing instrument (no pun intended).

Otherwise, those pens, no matter how brilliant their design, would be simply what…art objects?

So it’s always exciting for us to come across a blog that manages to blend an appreciation for pens and pencils with a deeper understanding of what those instruments can do when properly applied. In this case, that site is the Blog of Rhonda Eudaly.

Rhonda is a writer based in Texas who posts regularly on the utensils, business and spirit of the writing life. Her blog is a deft mix of insightful pen reviews, tips on writing, news and advice about the publishing world, and her travels and travails as a writer. Read More –>

Whether it’s a multi-pen with three different inks and a pencil, or an engineer’s pen with calipers and a ballpoint, we find them fascinating.

And we can usually count on Yochanan at the Multi Pen Dimensions blog to  keep us entertained with exactly those kinds of pens. Read More –>
