exchange prompts too much fun

Is anyone else having the same problem as me? I'm having so much fun reading the prompts I keep forgetting to look for prompts relating to my bingo card spots. Then I also keep forgetting whats on my bingo card and having to go back and check. LOL!

I haven't posted mine yet, I am still mulling over some of my art prompts.

I keep having to go back and change a person's prompt on my card, because they manage to fill multiple spaces on my card. It's kind of tricky since I know we can't use the same person twice. It also stinks that we can't use our own prompts, as I have at least two spaces that could potentially make my card a winner.

The Ravenclaw in me has figured out a system that really helps me out with this.

Good luck with your art prompts. Those are always the hardest to figure out for me.

Snicker! Nope, not having that problem for two reasons.

a) I lack even the intelligence even Ron Weasley was born with and screwed up my attempt to sign up for prompt bingo.

and

b) I haven't found the ten to fifteen hours it would probably take me if I went to look at the prompts.

Same here.
I'm becoming so caught up in the gorgeous prompts that I keep forgetting to check my bingo card...

Good luck with your card. I have quite a few matches but not anywhere close to an S or an H. I may have to re-check and get a bit more creative with my interpretations of the prompts. LOL!

*snickers* back at you. It's not that bad. You just clicked on the wrong post I think. And it's not that it takes that long, I read through all the prompts posted last night (just skipped the wills and won'ts a what I wants parts). It's just I get so caught up in reading the prompts and thinking---'oh, that's a good idea' or 'I really love that one' or 'or even oh, no, I hope I don't get that one, because I have no idea what I'd write!' or 'Omg, my prompts are crap compared to these!'--- that I forget to look for the prompts that I actually have on my bingo card. LOL

I know, I think I have prompt envy!

Hi,

I hope you don't mind me butting in to comment, well ask something actually. I just signed up for the exchange for the first time (very excited). It all seems rather big, new and intimidating but I thought I'd got my head round it all until I saw your comment about bingo cards - now I'm well confused again (it doesn't take much). Bingo cards? Have I missed something? Sorry if I seem a bit thick. Also sorry if I left this comment on the wrong place. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

I gloated too soon. Pokey lived up to her name overnight and asked if wanted a card. I started off trying to read all the prompts and realised there was no way I was going to remember my twenty-four themes, so then I started doing searches for individual themes I needed and failed miserably with the first three I tried so now I'm going back to reading all the prompts one by one... if I don't just give up.
