rollerball pen not working

[CiderMonkey]

I have one of those gel rollerball pens. It seems to 'scrape' and not much ink comes out. Any ideas how to get it to flow easily?

Have a close look to make sure the actual little rollerball hasn't broken off - this is what happened to me once and what was causing it to 'scrape'.

assuming you have ink in there I find that warming the pen in my hands will sometimes do the trick

Write on the sole of your shoes. The dust draws out the ink.

I but those from Tesco's and theirs have a litle bit of plastic over the ball, that u need to pick off.
