While I was on my morning stroll I paused to take a photo of a couple of trees in bloom. Bees were buzzing happily around the flowers.

A couple of thoughts occurred in my mind. A saying we use to describe an irritating person in my knack of the woods is, “S/he has a bee in their bonnet.” I had a chuckle because I visualized an annoying and angry bee trapped under someone’s hat or hair.

The other thought was that the bees were “passionate” about what they are doing. I had a lightbulb spark that is the origin of this writing challenge.

The prompt is based on the question below.

Prompt: Is passion a creative flame or a destructive fire?

The theme/idea of your story is open to your unique interpretation. Take a moment to think about passion. When is it our friend or enemy?

Prompts sometimes create a creative lightbulb spark in one’s mind in a flash. Where will your lightbulb spark take your creativity? I trust that it will be a productive buzzing bee trapped in your creativity bonnet.

This is a reminder that there is no right or wrong way to respond to a writing…
