cpenrod19 asked:


As a going away gift for the summer, I am giving my boyfriend a Moleskine. He loves to write, and as he is working on an old whaling ship this summer I thought it would be a good place for him to record his experiences.
I want to add a quote on the inner cover – something inspiring, or a piece of advice, that pertains to writing. But I do not even know where to begin!
Any suggestions would be great!
