When I drove home tonight, I spotted flames shooting into the sky in a grass field by our local university. Out of curiosity, I went over to investigate a unusually large bonfire with students gathered around it. Turns out they had created it for an event.
As I stood there, the variety of shapes the flames created intrigued me so I snapped these photos. Each time I took a photo, the shapes changed.
My imagination took over. I see faces, men. women and maybe angels in the flames.
What do you see?
The photos I shot of the wood burning intrigues me simply because of the different shapes of the wood.
I could have simply turned left instead of right to go home but I took a moment to enrich my life with a mini adventure.
Now I’m inviting you to join in the play.
What do you see?
Maybe you don’t want to share but do take a creative moment of joy in all the interesting shapes of the flames.
What does this have to do with writing?
If you’re going to be a writer you have to be able to see and share what others don’t so they can see too.

I do agree that there’s a form of angel in the fire 🙂
I think if it’s hard to write fiction, why not try non-fiction? There are many issues need to be resolved.
I see a man in the first picture and a woman in the second.
