April Showers Bring May Flowers - A Month-Long Prompt List!
Flowers can be used to express all sorts of ideas - which is why we’ve taken inspiration from them to create this prompt list! Each day is a flower and its most common meaning, with four choice days based on the color of the flower! Feel free to write for every day, or pick and choose prompts that you feel inspired by! You can also use other flowers as prompts and tag us for the event!
If you post anything for the event, make sure to tag this blog as well as use the tag #mayflowersevent so we can reblog your work! Happy creating!
