allbingoHi all,
It's the last day of April and I thought I'd post my own progress on my bingo card. My life went completely sideways in the last week of March, but we're getting back to a new definition of normal. That includes, of course, not only time to write, but the attention to spare for it, thank goodness!
There are no announcements of bingo this month, other than this one, which makes me worry that I picked a too-specific type of prompt fill.
This was a real stretch for me, as readers can see from the individual prompt details. That I have trouble naming things is not news (I was just hoping four decades plus would allow enough practice to make it easier!) Fortunately, the goal was to have fun, and I definitely did so. Here's hoping others did, too. To help me make the next Allbingo hosting better, feel free to PM me with opinions and suggestions. I am definitely looking forward to creating a new theme!
Finished:
Prank - “Intersecting Problems.” Already posted on my DW account.
Laughter- “Happy Hour” - ready to post, but must wait for another story to be posted first. I quite like this short, strictly-structured poem, and am eager to see readers' reactions.
Rivalry -“Sibling Rivalry”- a free verse poem. This one may need battering with a poet's toolbox, but I quite liked setting it up and exploring a different view of the topic. TENTATIVELY finished, as poetry is not my first medium.
Humor- (untitled)- This story interconnects and happens simultaneously with “Intersecting Problems.' While it still needs a title, it's ready for posting.
A Technical Detail:
Sleepover- (Heron 4) – This is a very long story, and I've been trying to finish it all month! Yes, the sleepover is integral, even though they're college-age characters. The sleepover story line is finished, but it interleaves in alternating chapters with another story line. Since the two stories COULD be posted as “odd number chapters” and “Even number chapters” as separate, complete stories, I'm counting it. ('Winning' on a technicality, yes, but mostly, I just wanted to feel like I've gotten back on track with my usual writing process.)
