I really like this pencil but I think I’ve broken it or are missing a piece. I put it back together in what I think is the right order, but it doesn’t seem to work. If you look at the silver front part, there is what looks like a pen tip sticking out. I believe this is where the lead should come out but that tip thing just slides in and out without grabbing a hold of the lead. Any suggestions?

I accidentally missed last week’s  monthly Link Share post so I’ve gathered a few for you today.

Stay cool!
