writing challenge!
Charloft (Winter) Bingo
How it works
1. Go to this site to generate your own personal bingo card. There are over 500 prompts in the database, so each card will be different!
2. Copy the code at the bottom of the page to the journal of your choice. Now your own bingo card will be stored on your journal for easy access. Post stories (or links to stories) as a comment to your post so you have them all in one place). Link them to the prompts in the table. Up to you- do whatever makes sense as long as you can keep track of which prompts you have completed.
3. Use the prompts listed on your bingo card to make a bingo. You can do this in one of two ways--
a) Form a line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) by using the prompts in that line to create five stories.
b) Be ambitious! Cover the entire card - use all 25 spaces!
4. The Free Space in the center is an Author's Choice. Write whatever you want for this square.
5. Stories can be any length you choose. Write a drabble. Write an epic novella! It's all up to you.
When you are finished, feel free to get another card! See how many cards you can complete before winter bingo is over.
Winter Bingo will run from December 28th - January 31st! After this time we will put up a post asking folks to link in their completed cards and prizes may be awarded!
Playing along
So, this is what my card looks like:
receipt old son new year holy regift mistletoe decorating frozen goodwill weather fig author's choice firewood promise book Eskimo kisses bumble on ice mug playing Santa giving green flight snowglobe
A tiny piece of me thinks I'd be able to fill this whole card, so I'll give it a try. I do write in Portuguese, though, so I probably won't post any actual pieces of writing. I can tell you how it was writing each piece for me, though. I also need to tell you guys about the story I always talk about. I probably will post about my adventure and the story, as my story will be included in this. :3
If you'd like to play too, please head over to charloft or the site linked at the top of this entry. I'm on Summer break and have a huge amount of time on my hands. I also should start writing my story, and there is a handful of important Christmas' scenes to write, so as soon as I get back from the beach, I'll start working on this. Making this public so I have the "EVERYONE COULD SEE THIS, YOU CAN'T DISAPPOINT EVERYONE ON LIVEJOURNAL!" motivation. Yep, just like that!
See you on Thursday/Friday, folks! Don't miss me too much. :*
