I am making electronics since years.. but never had a wiring pen (because the one you can buy are quite expensive for a piece of plastic).
I have seen other designs in the internet but i made my own as you can see. But you can take a look here for other versions of a selfmade wiring pen:

I used the first time a wiring pencil and don't know why i used it in the past. It is a very useful tool when making prototypes on stripboard. It speeds up the soldering very much.
The design is made to fit different normal pen with different diameters. The pencil i used here hast a diameter of 10mm at his end but there is a little space left.
Also its my first design made with tinkercad:
