[writeclub] Quote Cards for #nanowrimo Writers

As part part #nanowrimo I have been regularly creating quote cards for my students. I guess I am hoping that the quote cards inspire them to write a bit more. Collectively they have written over 20,000 words so far, I think that it is a fabulous effort.

Here is what I created using Canva and gathered the quotes from various quoting sources online.

But here are some wintery bookmarks!

I've printed mine on 280 gsm through our Fuji Xerox colour copiers.
