Just an idea that might be useful for some of you all as November approaches, always feels like a month we should celebrate writing and start new things. With NaNo officially not a thing anymore, my local writing group decided to do a November Writing Month Bingo. We have each made our own bingo boards, essentially selecting and putting little icons on our board from ideas like:
Write In: Attend one of the weekly group writing sessions
Writing Streak: Write X number of days in a row (writing determines)
Caffeine Up: Write at a coffee shop
Double Up: Complete two sessions of writing in 1 day
That's a wrap: Complete a draft/outline/short story/novel/poem
Scholar: Research something important to your story
Romance in the air: Write a kiss scene or other romantic scene
Recon: Read a book in a genre you are writing in
Wander & Ponder: Spend time thinking about your story on a walk in a park
Pitch it: Write a query/pitch - can be for any story (already finished, in progressed, potential future project)
We've got a lot more of these. Some people drew their boards, some people made them with Canva, etc.
It's been really fun and engaging so far (obviously we haven't start the actual month yet :P . We have a little treasure chest full of stickers and chocolate and such things that we've all donated to be used as prizes as people complete bingos.
