10 Inspirational Writing Quotes you Need to Read

People use Rite in the Rain journals for a wide variety of things. From engineers working in the field to coaches planning their next move, nearly everyone can benefit from a journal that is waterproof. The one thing every Rainwriter customer has in common is that they are writing! Whether it’s a poem, important hunting information, or potential job hazards, writing is an important part of life. For that reason, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite writing quotes, thanks to Pinterest:

"Keep a notebook. Travel with it, eat with it, sleep with it. Slap into it every stray thought that flutters up into your brain. Cheap paper is less perishable than gray matter and lead pencil markings endure longer than memory."

Jack London

"Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted."

Jules Renard

"That's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again."

Walt Disney

"You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should've behaved better."

Anne Lamott

“Write without fear, edit without mercy.”

Anonymous

“You can make anything by writing.”

C.S. Lewis

“Writing: Somewhere between torture and fun.”

Anonymous

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.”

William Wordsworth

“Write like no one’s reading.”

“As a writer, you ask yourself to dream while awake.”

Aimee Bender

We also love this guide, which breaks down writing into very achievable steps. All you need to do is start with 50 words. That simple start can turn into 100 words, then 200 words and so on. Rework what you wrote or throw it in the trash, the choice is up to you. Remember though, the more you write, the better you will become. Write down every thought you have; the good, the bad and the ugly. Don’t forget, you can always edit a bad page, but you can’t edit a blank page, especially in your Rite in the Rain journal.
