Day 6 of the #JusJoJan Challenge set by Linda G Hill, and hosted today by Rosemary Carlson.
Now for your prompt for January 6. It is brought to you by Prajakta at https://anarmchairperfectionist.wordpress.com/ Your prompt is: “Tangible.” Use it any way you like. Make sure you stop by Prajakta’s website and say hello to her!
I thought I’d be brave and combine it with two other challenges this week
#WritePhoto by Sue Vincent, for which the prompt is Gold, accompanied by the photo below.
And Sacha Black’s #Writespiration prompt.
So without further ado, the first writespiration of 2017, 52 words exactly and you need to include the phrase…
The timer started
So, here goes…!
The timer started.
She looked ahead.
A clear path.
She looked back
No one near.
Then she began.
Ran like lightning.
The goal tangible.
This was it.
Gold was hers.
A car driving past woke her from her daydream.
Looking up, all she saw was the country road stretched out in front…

Day 3 of the #JusJoJan challenge by Linda G Hill
The Just Jot It January 3rd prompt, brought to you by Dan Antion, of the blog “No Facilities,” is: “Warning.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Dan as well! Here’s his blog: https://nofacilities.com/
A twisted little limerick take on Jack and Jill! Sorry, not quite sure how my mind ended up on this, considering the prompt word!
Jack, Jill and Bill
There was a young girl called Jill
Who, with Jack, always went up the hill
Then one sunny morning
Without any warning
She went, instead, with Bill!
Poor Jack was broken hearted
How had all this started?
That bump to the head
Had confined him to bed
Was this why they parted?
Now this Bill, he was a stunner
But Jack, oh he was fun-ner
Bill loved his pouting
Jill started doubting
And so she did a runner!
Well, Jack is back with Jill
They don’t go to that hill
Another they found
Less hill, more mound
But still as much of a thrill!

A little poem by my daughter Lil Princess. 8 and competing with me already! Bless her!
She wanted me to put it on the blog and be sure to let you all know she wrote it. Not I !
I like ice cream such a lot
I like it most when days are hot
In a cone or in a dish
This would be my only wish
Vanilla, Chocolate, Rocky Road
Pile it up until there’s a load

I have decided to attempt Linda’s Just Jot It January Challenge (#JusJoJan) this year. Whether I’ll be able to post daily is another matter, but I shall try!
The Just Jot It January 1st prompt, brought to you by Barb of ghostmmnc, is: “Spider.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Barb as well! Here’s her blog: https://teleportingweena.wordpress.com/ .
Spider
On this first day of the new year
It is common to have no fear
To weave a spider’s web of dreams
Of targets that you wish to achieve
To brush those old cobwebs away
And allow new ones to make their way
Give yourself a fighting chance
Choose wisely, skills you wish to enhance
Small steps are better than none
Learn to walk before you run
The spider starts with just one strand
Before creating something grand
