I had a most special pen, but it broke and it was irreplaceable. My daughter won it at her old school in a drawing. It had a little pull tab on the side of it and when you pulled it a scroll of a dollar came out. She won the pen and a real dollar for something. I loved how it felt and that it was a winning pen. I have my map (of NE England) coaster to put my coffee on and if needed I have my critique group buddies blanket to wrap up in. She made us each one for Christmas two years ago. I love your idea of going to a hotel (alone) to write.Sharon K.
