Bingo cards

[hhimring]

Are you making any?
Have you submitted prompts for any?
Are you thinking about which cards you will claim when the time comes?

How would you write prompts specifically to add to WIPs? Do you think the points where people get stuck are so predictable?

I suppose it's less a WIP card than a writers' block buster! :D I wouldn't see it as useful for someone like me and my Home Alone story, for example, where I know how it ends and just need to have the time to write it. It would be aimed more at someone stuck on a WIP or who has lost enthusiasm for a WIP, to maybe get it going again.

The inspiration came from NaNoWriMo, actually. I sent away for their Young Writers Program kit in 2017, and it came with a deck of playing cards, each with a different prompt on it, for when kids get stuck in their novels and don't know what happens next. I thought it was an interesting idea that might translate to a bingo card (though I'd invent my own prompts).

You made that card now, I think?
If not, somebody had the same idea!

I did! :D I treated myself to a couple of hours to make cards of my own yesterday.
