In preparation for Issue 5: Jabberwocky, our wackiest issue yet, I have created a list of wacky quotes to inspire your writing.
This issue is all about embracing anything fun, weird, and wacky, and these quotes reflect that. It’s important to embrace all writing, even the silly kind.
Of course these quotes can be used to inspire any writing, not exclusively any for Issue 5. Whether you choose to submit your wacky writing to Issue 5 or not, I hope these quotes can help!
