Killing me softly ,
With these dot points,

Living my life,
In my basement

Killing these trees with the hsc .

Killing me softly with those dot points,
Killing me softly , in this world.....

(Changed the lyrics around lol)
The composers utilisation of anaphora clearly illustrates... english in a nutshell.

Papermate Inkjoy 300/700 or Uniball Jetstreams (make sure you get the clicky ones though)

Does adding weight to a pen and writing help? I was thinking of taping batteries...

I personally wish I put weight on my pens. By the time trials came I realised I could only max out on 950 words per 40 mins hahah. So yeah go for it.

By all means, please do not tape batteries to your pen-what you will get out of this will just be a strained hand which is no good for writing faster. I have several friends who have tried this method out before and none of them recommended others to try it out again.

Apparently you can buy ink refills.. online? Is it a lot cheaper?

IMO it really depends on how much weight you put on your pen. My friend put a ball of rubber bands on her pen so she could adjust the weight to make it comfortable and her writing speed improved a lot during the HSC. But yeah it's definitely not a good idea to start heavy, just ease into it.
