This is my prompt card for the April 2022 Untranslatable Words Bingo Fest challenge at the AllBingo site.
 
I'd enjoy reader suggestions for any word or phrase on the bingo card, but cannot promise I'll make a fill for every request. I can only say I'll do my best!
 
My 200+ word count goal is the minimum I'll write to complete a fill for my prompts & I am ready to kick off this card with more drabbles. These short fills will most likely NOT end up being a complete story for each fill, but many of them connect into longer stories in my OtherWorldy series, VillageWitch game, and RePrint Series.
 
Squares that have been filled with 200+ words of story will be Struck Through so it will be easy for everyone to keep track of what's been done & how close I am to a Bingo!
