Transcript

Today I noticed that in a TV show episode I've seen many times before, a character who gets shot actually dies — something I had completely overlooked somehow before now. Not sure how I missed it …

The creative lesson I took from this Noticing is that even when we think we know a story inside and out, maintaining a fresh perspective can reveal overlooked nuances and details. Complacency leads us to make assumptions, while active engagement allows us to pick up on important storylines or character moments we previously missed.

The Art of Noticing

**A Bite-Sized Podcast that Teaches You to See and Use the Creative Inspiration That's Already Around You** Trouble with the muse? Believe me, I get it. Even after 120 books and a show on Hulu, I have as much trouble “finding the magic” as anyone. But the truth is, you don’t need to seek inspiration because it’s already all around you … if you know how to see it. Each 10-minute episode of “The Art of Noticing” contains two parts: something small and almost random I noticed around me, then a creative lesson I made from it, like spinning gold from straw. Whether it’s something in the news, the rhythm of rain against the window, a bit of trivia, word from a friend, or some small tidbit I picked up somewhere, anything can be creative fuel if you can learn to see what’s in front of you. Nothing is ordinary. Everything is art! /// Find show notes, transcriptions, and multi-weekly blog posts at https://www.johnnybtruant.com
