JusJoJan25 the 27th – Glamour

This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “glamorous,” comes to us from Sadje. Check out her blog here!

Myself being one of the least glamorous people I’ve ever met, I enjoy writing characters who are glamorous occasionally.

Characters who live in always clean huge houses with dozens of rooms and giant kitchens.

Characters who dress up and go to parties, balls, expensive restaurants.

Characters who go shopping for cars and furniture like it’s nothing.

Characters who wear makeup and own more than one pair of shoes …

Okay, maybe that last one is a bit close to home.

Aside from the makeup, cars, parties, balls, and restaurants, I dream of a lifestyle in which I could afford the things I write about.

I think that’s why I write it. It allows me to live vicariously through my characters.

I believe that’s what we do when we read about things we can only dream about, too.

What do you think?

Thanks again to Sadje for the prompt!

Daily Prompt – JusJoJan the 27th, 2025

Welcome! I’m here with our twenty-seventh prompt for Just Jot it January 2025. Our prompt today comes to us from the sensational Sadje. Thank you, Sadje! Please be sure to visit Sadje’s blog to read her posts and say hello. And follow her while you’re there if you’re not already.

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 27th, 2025 is “glamorous.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

If you’d like to see what I have so far on your prompt list and what’s to come, you can find the list HERE.

Here are the rules:

1. Please be sure to put your link in the comments on THIS POST for Monday, January 27th, 2025.

2. Just Jot It January starts January 1st, but it’s never too late to join in! Here, we run on the honour system; the “jot it” part of JusJoJan means that anything you jot down, anywhere (it doesn’t have to be a post, it can even be a grocery list), counts as a “jot.” If it makes it to your blog that day, great! If it waits a week to get from a sticky note to your screen, no problem!

3. I’ll post prompts at 2am my time (GMT -5). You don’t have to follow the prompt every day, but that will be where you leave your link for others to see. You’ll get a prompt for every day except Wednesday, when the prompt is simply my One-Liner Wednesday and on Saturday, when your prompt will be the Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS, which will appear at about 9:30am Friday. Each prompt post will include the rules.

4. Please ping back or link to the daily prompt. To ping back, just copy the URL from the daily prompt post, and paste it anywhere in your post. Check to make sure your link shows up where you want it to, and go back occasionally to see other bloggers’ entries – the more you visit others, the more they’ll visit you! Note: A) The newest pingbacks will be at the top of the comments section. B) Ping backs only work if you’re blogging on WordPress. Everyone else must paste a link manually.

5. Tag your post JusJoJan25 and/or #JusJoJan25.

6. Write anything! Any length will do! It can even be a photo or a drawing – you’re going to title it, right? There’s your jot!

7. The prompts will appear every day that’s neither a Wednesday nor a Saturday–Saturday’s JusJoJan prompt will be Stream of Consciousness Saturday. You’ll find the list of prompts below as they come in, which means I’ll be updating this post. Remember, you don’t have to use the prompts. Please write whatever inspires you. NOTE: If your post is NSFW, do not ping back. Please leave your link in the comments with a warning.

8. If you’d like to, use the JusJoJan badge so that others can find your post more easily.

9. Have fun!
