Do you talk to your pens ?

Re: Do you talk to your pens ?
No. Nor would my pens spit ink.
Re: Do you talk to your pens ?
My pens talk to me. And they tell me to do things. And it scares me because there are so many of them talking to me and telling me to do things....

Just the cheap ones. They always give me grief.
Re: Do you talk to your pens ?
No... but I talk through my pens.
Re: Do you talk to your pens ?
LOL.
Yes. But it must be something in their native tongue. And then it must be written.
No scolding though.

No, and mine don't spit ink on my fingers either.

Mine talk to me as well but they just tell me to buy more pens so that they have lots of company.
Oddly enough, I listen.

No. If I want to talk to something that ignores me completely, I have cats.

Can't say I do.
Re: Do you talk to your pens ?
I try to respond when they say "Buy me! buy me!"

I talk to ones I'm restoring, mainly begging them to let the hell go and allow the section to move, for the love of Mike.
Re: Do you talk to your pens ?
I don't talk to my pens, and they don't talk to me. However some of them make very distinctive sounds when I write with them.

I as well, the most used phrases are: "Come on, come on..." and "Really, it's going to be like this, huh?"Originally Posted by grainweevil

Usually when they spell something wrong... it's always the pens dang fault
Re: Do you talk to your pens ?
I talk to my black pens on occasion. I tend to set them down on a black mouse pad and then lose them. Thus I'm usually asking a pen where it's hiding...while it's generally right next to my hand.
Re: Do you talk to your pens ?
Fountain pens, I don't talk to,
My dip pens and nibs.... Some days there are a lot of obscenities muttered when there are ink splats, nib snags. Followed very soon with sincere apologies
happy writing

I use my pens specifically so that I won't have to talk.
