Sensory Ethnography Description 3 - Using A Pen

As I pick it up, my thumb presses the plastic body against my index and middle finger while they gently wrap themselves in place on the side and on top. My other two fingers at the end of my hand hold up everything as the pen begins to glide across the page, leaving behind a trail of black as I move it to my whim. The smell of ink becomes slowly present although still rather faint as the trail of black increases with every stroke, every movement, every pause. The sight of the white page before me becoming marked, showing me of what I have done begings to take hold and makes me aware of my actions.

This is just a very simple and everyday thing that we all do (especially students like me) I thought about it every time I wrote something for about a week, where dose the pen lie when I use it in my hand? what dose it smell like? feel like? I was also going to say taste like but I got out of the habbit of chewing on the ends of my pen a while ago and don't wan't to get into it again thank you very much
