First half of the month – January 18-30, 2024

I’m once again looking for prompt words for Just Jot it January. This is your last chance to inspire other people and have your blog linked to the Daily Prompt post for this year’s month of prompts.

Read the rules carefully! I need 10 single words to use in the last half of the Just Jot It January challenge—January 18th through to the 30th, not including Saturdays and Wednesdays. This is how you can be included:

• If your prompt was included in the first half of this month, you won’t get another go. One prompt per year is the limit so we can let everyone have a chance.
• I’m looking for a single word, plus a link to your blog, plus the name you wish me to use when I post your prompt (your name or the name you blog by). So for example, mine would be “antidisestablishmentarianism lindaghill.com Linda”
• If you write more than what I’m asking for in your comment, for example, “My word is antidisestablishmentarianism, and my link is (this) and my name is (my given name or the name I blog by),” I’ll tell you to try again. Same thing if you try to slip in two prompts, even in two different comments—I’ll only accept the first. If I get the same word twice, I’ll only accept the first person who got to it. If you’re the second, I’ll let you know so you can try again. And please, remember this is a relatively G-rated blog, so nothing too risque.
• The first 10 comments on this post that include a single word (plus link and name) will be the prompts for the second half of January.
• These prompts will go up on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 2am EST. I’ll take care of One-Liner Wednesday and Stream of Consciousness Saturday myself.
• I’ll link back to the blog of whomever gives me a prompt on the day I use it.
• Make sure you get your comment in early. You don’t want to miss out!
• Please don’t bother entering a prompt if your blog is inactive or if it exists only to sell things. If you haven’t posted in over a month and you’re only looking for clicks, your prompt word will be rejected. If, on the other hand, you’re planning to use JusJoJan to inspire you to get back into the swing of things, let me know immediately in a second comment — NOT the one you give your prompt word in. Remember, that’s ONE word plus your link and your name only. If I can’t find a reasonable number of posts written in the last month that aren’t trying to sell a product, your prompt word will be rejected.
• I’ve found over the years that prompt words that are negative in nature don’t get as much participation as more positive words. I don’t want to limit you, but please keep in mind that if your word is on the sadder or angrier side, your prompt may not get as many responses.
• If you provide a prompt, I encourage you to join in as much as possible throughout the  rest of the month.
• NOTE: Please count the number of correctly formatted comments ahead of yours. If there are already 10, save yours for 2025!

Please see the “Rules” post for a complete list of the prompt words. I’ll populate it as the words come in. Here’s the link.

Okay. Are you ready? Aaaaand … prompt! One word, one link, one name!
