I have fond nostalgic feelings for the classic Dixon Ticonderoga and we always have bunches of them at home. But for writing most things in work I use a mechanical pencil, a Pentel with a 0.9mm "lead". If I'm writing something more formal, like a note to a friend or a letter to somebody, or a note to my kids' school, I use a roller ball pen since it has a nice smooth feel to it. As far as "artistic" things, I love using classic pen and ink. Sometimes it's fun to stretch your concepts of detail by using a larger-than-normal drawing implement; like take a 2" wide strip of cardboard dipped in ink and draw with it. As far as challenging and interesting writing, I really like to examine calligraphic art but I have no talent for that.
