I was going to ask Santa Claus for a new pen this year. A posh pen, an expensive pen. A pen that I could use to sign my name if anyone asked for a signed copy of my book. Well, a girl can dream.
But then I thought, what if I lose it? What if I chew the end while mulling over a tricky writing problem? What if I leave it in a cafe?
This started me thinking about the kind of pen that I really would like as a Christmas gift this year.
I thought back to the pens I used to love writing with when I was a child, the pens that I daydreamed my days away with. The pens that I made up stories, poems and tales with. The pens that I treated myself to from my pocket money each summer to take on family holidays with my mam and dad and two younger brothers.
And that's why I've asked Santa for a green Pentel this year. And from what I understand, he's been able to find three in a pack for just over six quid.
If you see me signing a book with my green Pentel pen know that I'm as happy as larry.
Plus, I can chew away to my heart's content.

I like Pentels as well but have a Mont Blanc for "signing" things I was given on my wedding day. And it is still going strong.
