First off, thank you to everyone who responded to my survey. I’ve closed down the form, and I want to share the results. If you can’t see the charts below (depending on what device you’re on right now, it may be too small to read) you can view it on Google Data Studio. If you don’t want to view the charts, there’s a basic table further down in this post.
The votes surprised me. I didn’t think you’d be interested in brand “grudges,” and I thought pen porn would rate higher. I’ll have to do this again next time I’m running short on ideas.
Suggested Topics
You all also suggested some interesting topics. I’m definitely considering some of them.
- A “guest” blogger, or interview with pen enthusiast
- The story of your first pen…
- How you train your cats
- How you curate your purchases.
- Hobbies or interests that compete with pens.
- Pens and dogs/cats.
- Notebook comparisons
