Understanding the process that authors follow might be difficult for many people. Many of the world's most successful authors have developed certain routines that contribute to their ongoing success. Quirks that authors have throughout the creative process form a part of their personality and, ultimately, their identity as a whole. These idiosyncrasies might range from drinking while editing (as Joan Didion did) to never starting a new piece on a Friday (as Truman Capote did).
One of the ways that we may learn about authors and their works is by examining the pens that they used to write with. It must have been quite a sight to watch from these legendary writers' desks to see the nib vibrating over the paper as the ink filled up while they were staring at it. Given what we know about the authors' individual writing styles, we are able to hazard a guess as to what the scene in each author's office must have looked like at any given time.

The following are five well-known writers and the writing styles that they preferred.

Parker Duofold was the cigar of choice for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author who brought the mystery fiction to new heights of popularity, was a big lover of the Parker Duofold fountain pen. Because of its beautiful design and the fact that it was so simple to use, the Parker became Arthur Conan Doyle's preferred writing instrument at a time when the fountain pen was experiencing its most widespread adoption in Europe and the United States. A significant number of the primary reasons why Doyle favored the Duofold are still present in the pen today: it is well-balanced, has a beautiful shape, and is encased in an acrylic material that is both dependable and lightweight. It should be obvious to you, my dear Watson, why he preferred to write with this pen.
