NATIONAL PENCIL DAY!

I remember writing my stories by hand. I still do. I haven't used a pencil in a very long time for writing my stories but a pen is always handy.

In honor of NATIONAL PENCIL DAY, I challenge you to do one of two things... or both!

1 -  Write an entire scene with PENCIL and paper. How does it affect your process?

2 - Have a pencil be part of one of your character's tools. Does the heroine always have a pencil stuck in her 'messy hair - don't care' persona? Maybe your hero is a construction worker or carpenter. They usually always have a 'carpenter's pencil' somewhere at hand. 

UNPLUG and pull out your pencil...

Happy Writing!

If you add a bit of libation to that smoothie, you may be doing this:
