Abstract
An ergonomic writing instrument comprising a writing instrument and a shell. The shell has a longitudinal axis and opposite ends and a hollow interior. The writing instrument is positioned within the shell with its operational end extending from one end of the shell. The portion of the shell furthest from the operational end is heel or 'D' shaped, thus providing an ergonomically superior shape for a writing instrument. One can pick up this writing instrument and very easily grip the writing instrument correctly. Due to the comfortable conformity of the writing instrument to the natural arch between the thumb and the index finger, one can write for long periods without the fatigue or writing cramps which ordinarily accompany prolonged handwriting with conventionally shaped writing instruments.
