The Mundane

I finished reading Keep Going by Austin Kleon yesterday. I love Austin's writing style. Short. Punchy. I want to read his poetry book too, now.

His website is something is something I'd love to emulate with my online writing, but I fear I have nothing to contribute. But the point is more about pulling back the curtain, isn't it? So: pull back the curtain. Talk about your observations. What do you see in the world around you?

Look at any collection of urban art, or a piece of clever graffiti, or macro photography. Someone noticed something small and decided the world needed to see more of that.

That impresses me twice. First, that someone was able to notice the novel in the mundane. Second, that someone created that thing in the first place.
