May Exclusive | Announcement of the Bingo Essay Project

I'm Rinka, known for turning everything into a bingo game.
This time, I've come up with a project called "Bingo Essay," so I'd like to introduce it.

The background behind this project

Recently, with my eldest son starting school, I've spent about two months with almost no time for work.

Since I've managed to keep up a daily update streak for over 4,000 days, I've somehow managed to keep writing my diary, but I just can't think of what to write.

■ Project Details

In this project, we will write essays based on the "keywords" arranged in a 25-square bingo grid.

I call them essays, but feel free to write them as "diaries" instead.

When I have the energy, I plan to approach this as "essay practice," and when I don't have time, I'll write them as "diaries for self-analysis that can serve as material for future work."

Since it's bingo, you can fill in the whole thing, stop once you get a bingo, or write in any order you like.

If you find it easier to keep going when you have a "goal," you might want to decide on "clearing one bingo." You can clear it in as little as four days.
Of course, you can also adjust your goal and raise the level.

■ Recommended for people who:

・Want a reason to write
・Want to write short essays or diaries casually
・Want to practice essays for the Creative Awards
・Find it easier to write when there is a theme
・Want to write about May-themed topics

That is all.

■ What I will and will not do

This is a voluntary participation project. As the organizer, I am not planning to do anything specific this time.

The only thing I am thinking of doing is, if someone fills in all the squares, I will introduce them on X or note.That is all.

There are no prizes or selections.
I will not be going around leaving comments or collecting them into a magazine.

There are two reasons for this.

1. Because I am sharing what I intend to do as my own "practice pieces".

2. As I wrote above, I do not have the time.

This is because I am struggling just to secure time for work, and I haven't even been able to reply to the comments I've received.

I would be happy if everyone could also enjoy this freely at their own pace.
Of course, for those who want to interact, I hope this project can serve as a conversation starter.

There is no need to contact me or confirm your participation.
Please feel free to use it as you like.

When the timing is right and I am able to visit and read your work, I may stop by to press the ❤ button to say 'I read it!'

Please feel free to fill in even just one square whenever you feel like it.

■ Prohibited Items
