I bought two writing boards for my children ages 2 and a half and 3 and a half years old. The Fisher-Price, Doodle pro writing board is very high standard writing board. The special thing about the Fisher-Price  Doodle pro writing board is that it does not need any ink, marker or chalk to write. We only need magnet or  a special pen with a metal tip to write on the board. The Fisher-P...

Last summer of 2008 when the family went to mall to buy my kids' school stuff, I brought with me my daughter. She is kind of choosy on her things so to avoid any trouble I let her choose for the notebooks. We do the buying in a bookstore located inside a mall for more convenience. The things are grouped in order so we did not find it hard to look for notebooks and compare those that are ava...

Stephen King is the undisputed master of horror. As an aspiring writer, I would love nothing more than to get in his head and find out - as scary as it may be - just what makes him tick. On Writing is probably the closest I'll ever get to realizing that dream, but it's a damn good look at what's there. Half memior, half writing advice, this is definitely one of the most motivational...

I am a natural born scribbler. As someone who writes, a lot, I tend to have pens and legal pads laying around all the time which all, at one point or another, seem to go missing. My aprtment is not big enough to conceal these items, yet there seems to be some sort of Bermuda Triangle effect going on between my living room, office and kitchen.With that in mind, I decided to stock up on pens and ...

If there is such a thing, I am a pen snob. I've written with everything from bic round stics to the finest fountain pen, and let me tell you, anyone who doesn't see a difference between them is an ignorant fool. Basically, i've gotten so used to this pen, that when signing checks at restaurants, filling out deposit slips at the bank, and jotting notes down on post-it notes, I only u...

My grandmother sent me a lovely gift for addressing my wedding invitations, The Traveler's Writing Chest by AM. This chest is a small wooden box that contains a wooden stylus with seven nibs, a glass writing pen ,a bottle of blue ink and note paper. I have always had a thing for unique ink pens, so this gift was perfect for me. When I was a teenager I went thru a fountain pen phase. I ...

Writing with Grace is the book I was given to teach my daughter handwriting.  I, however, think it stinks royaly.  Third grade is the grade children are to begin to learn how to write in cursive.  This book almost assumes they already know how and offers very little practice.I might not be a genius, but a child should start out with little a's and big a's before they are ...

I love to write and am told by many people (mostly my mother) that I am very witty.  So I thought what better way than to put those two things together than by writing greeting cards.  The difficult thing about breaking into the greeting card market is that there is not a lot of information that is readily available on the subject.  You can imagine my joy when I came across You C...

Becoming a member of Shared Reviews gave me the inspiration to start writing Non-Fiction again. I had lost touch with some of the basic requirements for writing a letter - for example Editors cover letter and page layout. I decided to have a look on Amazon for a basic "How to do" book on non fiction writing. What appeared to be the best choice and most appropriate was a book called &q...

When i purchased this book i thought it was going to tell me how to write short articles for magazine publishing, but i was dissapointed. If i had wanted to learn about writing a book - then this would have been the one for me. Apparently this is an updated version of the same book wrote some time ago, but with chapters on the latest information regarding forwarding your work by e mai...

When it comes to writing notebooks for grade schoolers especially for girls let's face it it's not the inside of it that they are after for but on the cover. Like my girl, when we went to buy her writing notebooks for the coming school year she didn't look for the paper. As long as it has the blue, red, blue lines that's fine with her. National Bookstore has vast selection of no...

I don’t know why I like to collect fancy papers like these. Maybe because they are cute, I don’t know. These papers I’m going to review are ones of my favorite. I bought them one day when I was hanging around at a stationery store, thought they were cute and decided to buy them to be added into my fancy papers collection. These papers are made by Kuniku. And a set of this cont...

From freelance to fiction, you will find useful information on every page. A great perk of the Writer's Digest subscription is the lack of ads. "LACK" meaning the ads are graciously placed throug...

I love the way this pen writes.   I find it very comfortable on the hand.   The ink just seems to flow onto the paper.   The only time i ever let go of one of these pens is when the ink dries out.   The grip that it has at the tip makes it easy to write and it seems as if your fingers just snug into the pen.   Also with the grip at the end of th...
