“I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I'm not afraid of falling into my inkpot.” -- Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882

Black ink -- it's long lasting. It's bold. It's a reflection of confidence. It's what I use to draw. It makes ideas stand out. It creates high contrast. It makes both mistakes and reflections harder to remove or hide. It's the same as not holding back.

It says you are not afraid to make your mark.

If you use pencil to write your thoughts or sketch your ideas -- put it away for a while and use black ink. Maybe wait and see what effect it has on you.
