A writing instrument comprising:
- (a) a tubular body having an upwardly extending upper end, a lower end having left and right sides, and a point end;
- (b) left and right wings, each wing among the left and right wings having proximal and distal ends;
- (c) mounting means interconnecting the left and right wings and the tubular body, the mounting means respectively positioning the left and right wings' proximal ends at the left and right sides of the tubular body's lower end, and the mounting means being adapted for respectively leftwardly and rightwardly extending the left and right wings' distal ends, and for arranging the tubular body, the left wing, and the right wing in an inverted “T” configuration;
- and
- (d) scribing means operatively associated with the tubular body's point end, wherein the mounting means are further adapted for pivoting movement of at least a first wing among the left and right wings from its leftwardly or rightwardly extended position to a downwardly extended position.
