FILL: falling in love? (A Video Review?)

I suppose this is a video review, of sorts.

Based on the recommendation in John Brown's article on creative Q&A, I just spent half an hour watching a video on the computer. The video is over here

http://www.everydaycreativityfilm.com/

Everyday Creativity by Dewitt Jones (It says preview, but I think it shows you the whole thing)

I found this to be an exciting short video. I don't think there's a chase scene in it, and yet... Listening to the calm, slow voice of Dewitt Jones explaining how you can be creative, how you can fall in love with the world -- how you can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary! That's exciting.

In just 22 minutes, you'll learn about prospective, that there's more than one right answer, why you should make mistakes, about breaking patterns. You'll also learn to train your technique, to put yourself in the way of potential, and to be patient while you wait for the moment you can take advantage of.

Go ahead. Take a look, listen, and see if you don't find this to be an exciting way to spend a half an hour. And then you may want to put those techniques to work, and fall in love with the world all over again.

You may even find it inspiring some writing...
