What colour pen do you write with?
This is a thought that has just occurred to me. If I have two or three different stories being planned I write them with different coloured pens so I can tell which is which. However if I am just brain storming ideas I must write in my TARDIS blue pen. (Its not a Doctor who Pen, although I do have some, it just writes in the same shade of blue as the TARDIS.) If I am writing a first draft by hand then I must write in black. I simply refuse to write in other colours or the wrong colour.
Does anyone else do this or I am just being picky?

Oh dear! You're far too young and talented to be so set in your ways, StF :)
Preferred colours and pens - we all have those - but "simply refuse"?
Me, I like black, which stems from the days when blue wouldn't show up in a photocopy (yes, I AM that old!) but I'll use blue or even red if nothing else is available.
Me too, although I have a proper fountain pen filled with blue ink, which I love to use for signing letters.
But I prefer writing straight onto a keyboard on a size 12 TNR font on about 120% (Cos otherwise I can't see it) because I'm lazy writing it out twice. If it's a short I'd rather handwrite it then edit it, otherwise I'll type it. Late at night. Between 12am and 4am.
