If you are on the hunt for a fine quality pencil – look no further than Ticonderoga pencils.
Hi, I’m OMT! and I’m an office supply junkie. Just walking into an office supply store gives me shivers of happiness.
Pens, pencils, and paper, oh my!
WHAT?
You TOO?!
Thank goodness, I’m not alone.
Whew…
OMT FUN FACT: I wrote two full length novels in pencil.
In. Pencil.
Some of those pencils vexed me.
They were always breaking, hard to sharpen, and maybe worst of all, the erasers smudged every correction made.
BOOOOOOO!
I wish I had known about Ticonderoga pencils back in the day, but I didn’t.

When you’re using an inferior pencil it’s like writing in mud with a stick…a weak, breakable, horrible, no good stick.
BOOOOOOOO!
Did you know that pencils come in different shapes as well?
Of course you do. You’re no pencil dummy.
The most typical is the hexagon shaped pencil.
It’s a comfortable fit for fingers and one of the most commonly used.
Round pencils are commonly used as well.
They are smooth and easily gripped. Lots of beginner users can handle a round pencil.
Flat pencils – or carpenter’s pencils – are fun and flat.
Why flat? So they don’t roll off surfaces that carpenters are working on – SMART!
That takes care of the pencils themselves, but what about erasers?
When you use a pencil with a horrible no good eraser, you’re just stirring the mud around.
The words never disappear, they just get reorganized as a stain on your paper, mocking you and you’re wishful thinking ways.
Nope.
Not gonna have it.
Ticonderoga understands this issue and doesn’t disappoint.
When I bought these pencils, I tested each and ever pencil in my pencil skull (yes, a skull, not a cup. imma weirdo and you like that about me….YES, YOU DO!).
If it didn’t glide across my paper – in the trash it went.
If it dared to smudge my thoughts into a dirty stain of annoyance – in the trash it went.
After the Great Pencil Purge of 2019, I filled my skull (not MY skull! the one that sits on my desk. GOSH!) with a sharpened handful of Ticonderoga’s and life as my hand knows it, has never been better.
Life is too short to hate the pencils you’re writing with, or at least as a writer, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Do you have a favorite pencil?
Tell us!
If not, if you’re looking to be matched with a smooth glider, may I suggest giving these a spin.
