Day # 12

Writing tools !
Pens, pencils, markers, slivers of soap, whatnots.
Gather them, then go through them and ask yourself the following :
Do they work ?
Are the pencils sharp ? If not, sharpen them. If the lead is broken : toss'em.
And do you have a decent sharpener ? That you can lay your hands on ?

Pens : is there any ink left ?
Can they write ?
Do they blob all over the place ?
No matter how expensive a pen was : if it ruins what you try to write, it isn't worth holding on to. Get it fixed or get rid of it.
Do you keep your erasers with your writing tools ? If so :
do they still erase anything ? or are they just hard brick/s ? If the latter is the case : toss !
And if no erasers or pencils are left once you've been through it all : Write the relevant implement/s on your shopping-list for when next you. This also goes for spare lead for your mechanical pencil/s. If you don't have any in the house, put it on your shopping-list and pick it up when next you are shopping. Here, most supermarkets carry standard sizes :-) and a good sharpener for your pencils. Remember that ! you need it :-)

You can do this !
One song's worth !

And if you have NO TIME !! Do yourself the favour of tossing pens that don't work, whenever you get them in your hands ... and you will ... today too !
