In this episode, I explore the idea that even ordinary lives hold interesting stories. As writers, our job is to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. I emphasize that everyday stories can still be compelling and valuable. I provide practical advice for finding and creating stories, including keeping a journal, practicing people-watching, exploring family history, and analyzing emotional responses. Your challenge is to write a 100-word story about the secret life or hidden history of the most boring object in your room.
