“Writers are like other people, except for at
least one important difference. Other people
have daily thoughts and feelings, notice this
sky or that smell, but they don't do much
about it.
Not writers. Writers react. And writers need a
place to record those reactions. That's what a
writer's notebook is for. It gives you a place to
write down what makes you angry or sad or
amazed, to write down what you noticed and
don't want to forget . . . .” Ralph Fletcher
