The term pencil is from the mid-14c., pencel, "an artist's small, fine brush of camel hair," used for painting, manuscript illustration, etc., from Old French pincel "artist's paintbrush."

What is your pencil? What tool do you use to make things happen? Nowadays people use phones and computers to make things happen. I still like to use a pencil and pen of all colors. Creativity and innovation are where things happen regardless of the tool you use.
