Negative Space: writing tools
- Discretely and with quiet strength: the Underwood Champion Portable
-
The ultimate distraction-free writing app is a typewriter.
- The Fisher Space Pen
-
If you’re a writer, you’re a writer everywhere—often trying to write on whatever semi-hard surface is available. The Fisher Space Pen makes that possible.
- ia Writer for iOS and Mac OS
-
You have to enjoy using asterisks and/or underscores for emphasis, and hashes for headlines, but if you do, ia Writer is a great app for writing and note-taking on Mac OS and iOS.
- The Levenger Ambi Folio
-
One of the best writing purchases I’ve made has been the Levenger Ambi Folio. It’s been a near-constant companion when I go out to write.
- Must-have iOS app: Editorial
-
Editorial stands out among Markdown editors by being far more flexible and at the same time easier to use.
- Nisus Writer Pro 2.0
-
The new Nisus is pure awesome: very easy to use, and it does everything I need.
- A tale of two keyboards: iwerkz and Logitech K760
-
Several months ago I replaced an aging Apple wireless keyboard with a Logitech K760 solar keyboard and an iwerkz portable folding keyboard. Both of these bluetooth keyboards do great in their intended purpose.
- Time is not fungible for writers
-
Time isn’t fungible for writers; it’s not really fungible for anyone else, either. Time stolen can never be regained, because many of the things that would have been created during that time are lost forever.
More Information
- Fisher Space Pen refill (medium)•
-
This is the refill for the Fisher Space Pen; the ink is under pressure and designed to work at any angle and just about any temperature.
- Fisher Space Pen Co.
-
“Fisher’s development couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. The space race was on, and the astronauts involved in the Mercury and Gemini missions had been using pencils to take notes in space since standard ball points did not work in zero gravity. The Fisher cartridge did work in the weightlessness of outer space and the astronauts, beginning with the October, 1968 Apollo 7 mission began using the Fisher AG-7 Space Pen and cartridge developed in 1966.”

The original Astronaut Space Pen is a great writing tool with a great design; it shouldn’t fail you at low temperatures nor at whatever angle you happen to need it at.
