July 05, 20244 min read

Welcome to July's writing adventure where you follow the Larkspur to choose what to write next. All inspired by the Flowergames

  • First you will be guided to choose a workbook

  • Then you will be guided to choose the first prompt

Think of it as a mini-escape, and an opportunity for a spur of the moment writing adventure.

Three distinct trails await

1 - The Golden Larkspur: Lighten the Path

The Path of Laughter invites you to explore the healing and connecting power of laughter in a world that has forgotten how to smile.

Decide which Larkspur you want to work with. Then go download it here.

But don't forget to come back and be guided to choose which prompt to begin with.

Your Journey Begins . . .

It is time for you to choose the first prompt from the workbook. Choose your path and be guided by your pen:

Did You Choose the Golden Larkspur:

A curious antique shop beckons you from a cobblestone street, its windows overflowing with peculiar treasures. As you step three objects shimmer with an otherworldly light, each whispering a promise of adventure:

Option A: The Umbrella of Lightness: A delicate, silver umbrella rests on a velvet cushion, its handle adorned with swirling patterns. As you touch the cool metal, a sense of weightlessness washes over you. Could this umbrella defy gravity, lifting burdens both physical and emotional?

Option B: The Glowing Crystal: A mesmerizing crystal pulses with an inner light, casting dancing shadows on the walls. Whispers of a hidden cavern echo in your mind, a place where bioluminescent wonders illuminate the darkness.Dare you seek out this subterranean spectacle?

Option C: The Jester's Mask: A mischievous grin is frozen on a porcelain mask, its eyes sparkling with mirth. The air around it crackles with laughter, promising a journey filled with joy and lightheartedness. Will you embrace the spirit of the jester and bring smiles to the world?

The choice is yours. Which path will you follow?

Find your prompt in the workbook, and let it lighten your path.

Did You Choose the Pink Larkspur: 

You find yourself at a crossroads, a worn signpost tilting precariously in the wind. But instead of directions to familiar towns or landmarks, three peculiar paths beckon with promises of the extraordinary:

Option A: The Path of Enchantment: A sign, promising a secret amusement park.

Option B: The Path of Perception: A sign with sunglasses Do you dare to see?

Option C: The Path of Mystery: A sprinkle of confetti leads down to an ordinary supermarket, hinting at an unexpected adventure. Do you follow?

The choice is yours. Which path will you choose, and what wonders await you at its end?

Did You Choose the Green Larkspur: 

The oppressive silence of a laughter-forbidden city. Yet, a flicker of defiance ignites within you as you approach a hidden alleyway. As you venture deeper, a faint chuckle echoes through the shadows, leading you to a dimly lit doorway. Three paths lie before you, each promising a unique rebellion against the joyless regime:

Option A: The Rulemaker: A hidden door creaks open, revealing a secret underground comedy club where laughter is not just tolerated, but celebrated. The air buzzes with anticipation as you step inside.

Option B: The Teenage Rebels: A group of teenagers huddle in a secret corner, their faces etched with a desperate desire to laugh. Their eyes meet yours, pleading for you to join their silent revolution. Will you help them unleash their suppressed laughter, defying the oppressive forces that seek to silence their joy?

Option C: The Grumpy Heart: A weathered figure sits alone in a dimly lit room, their face a mask of bitterness and regret. A flicker of hope glimmers in their eyes as you approach. Will you be the one to rekindle the spark of joy within their weary soul?

The choice is yours. Which path will you choose to illuminate the darkness and reclaim the forbidden joy of laughter?

Your Writing Adventure Awaits

The beauty of the Flowergames is that it is made to fit into your life, not the other way around. No pressure, no guilt, just a simple invitation to play.

  • Choose a rose that speaks to your heart.

  • Find the corresponding prompt in the workbook.

  • Set a timer for just 15 minutes (or whatever feels doable).

  • Let the pen plant the seeds for a new story.

Here's the magic: Even in those brief moments of creative expression, you'll be nourishing a part of yourself that often gets neglected. You'll be proving to yourself that you are a writer, even when life throws curveballs. And who knows, you might just surprise yourself with what flows from your pen.

Conclusion: Your Story Blossoms

Your adventure begins with your next small step. The stories waiting to be told are yours to create. So grab your workbook, whether it be "Lighten," "Fun," or "Laughter," and next time you come across a Larkspur smile because you know it helped you write.

Happy writing!
