Today I learned, when I went to buy a filtered water pitcher for my son for college, that you can't fit a pitcher inside of a mini fridge.
The creative lesson I took from this Noticing is that the minutiae can make or break the credibility of your work. My pitcher example is a really small, really ridiculous Noticing, but it exemplifies the need for getting details right in fiction, because getting them wrong can ruin a story. Attention to detail isn't just about accuracy. It's about authenticity.
