I love the Hi-Tecpoint Pilot V5 pens. They come in a variety of colours including pink, lilac and turquoise which makes them a perfect choice for adding colour to a hand-written first draft or creating mind-maps or spider diagrams.

I use it to make notes when I’m plotting my book, or when I have a sudden brainwave and have to write the idea down in my notebook. I have two and one is always with me. I’m… Continue reading Interview with Louise Rose-Innes
Well this is an interesting item. Something quite different. The Tabi notebook. We often use the word ‘notebook’ to describe any book in which we write things down. I have notebooks for writing my first drafts and notebooks to record important points that a speaker makes at a conference. But sometimes it is necessary to… Continue reading Review – TABi notebook
