Keeping a Writer’s Notebook

When I find something that inspires me, I write about it in my writer's notebook. I think of my writer's notebook as a true friend, a great listener, someone who will accept whatever I write (the good, the bad, the weird, and the tedious). My writer's notebook never judges me. It understands that becoming a writer takes a long time, and we might as well have a little fun along the way.

Ralph Fletcher (2005)

Final thought about what a Final thought about what a notebook is from fifth grader, notebook is from fifth grader,

Briana Carlin.Briana Carlin.A notebook is where you keep dew

drops from a dew drop morning. It’s where the sun sets. It’s the wind in your face at the beach looking out

over the water. A notebook is where you’re playing with your dog. It’s

where you have dreams about walking on rainbows. It’s where the good feelings and the bad feelings

spend the night.
