Carefully warming the tip with a match also often does the trick.

    <IMG width="150" height="180" border="0" align="left" src="http://www.andreasroom.com/HowTo/images/pen.jpg" /></p> <P> </p> <P>This is an extremely simple trick to fix a ball point pen that refuses to 
    write. Someone taught this to me when I was little, I have used it ever 
    since.</p> <P>If your pen has ink in it, but just refused to write, the ball is 
    probably stuck. To fix, simply draw a few circles on a glass surface (the 
    closest window works well). This frees up the ball and your will be away 
    writing again!</p> <P> </p> <P> </p> <P> </p> <P> </P></TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ABB67DC7-B7E3-4030-8BBE-EBF061758D0C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
