Find Extraodinary In The Ordinary

Okay, it's a clichéd title for sure, but it's accurate. I came across a picture of popcorn on Pinterest with the caption "I'll never eat popcorn again." On this close-up of one particular kernel, it looked like a demon with pallid, sunken features, hollow eyes, and asymmetrical holes for a nose. For me it sparked some ideas to add to my novel that's in the cooking phase. So from now on, I'm going to "inspect" everyday items and look for characters, creatures, scenes, whatever there is to see. It's no different than finding shapes in the clouds and may be just the thing to write oneself out of a corner.
