"Unlock the Secrets of the World Around You: The Art of Transformative Observational Writing"

There’s a story, an essay, or a poem in there somewhere. But you missed it because you were plugged in. You weren’t paying attention to your surroundings. You weren’t being observant.

Whether it’s noticing the way sunlight flickers through the auburn and golden leaves of a maple tree at high noon on an autumn day or the behavior of people in an airport, inspiration abounds all around you. If you’re not paying attention, you’ll miss it.
