Marketing pens may not be the specific type of pen writers need to write, but in a pinch, any pen will do. All you really need is an idea and a way to make record of it.

My favorite way, like most people, is a computer and a decent word processor. MS Word is the natural favorite, but considering the lack of competition, that’s not saying much.

What is a growing trend… one I don’t care for… is the increasing use of smart cell phones like Blackberry devices and such… for the composition of longer works. Smart phones are simply too small to be comfortable for me.

E-mails? Sure. SMSing? Yup. Blogging? Maybe.

But longer works like novels? Not a chance… at least not for me.
