Your prompt for JusJoJan January 5th 2023, is “cancer.” Use the word “cancer” any way you’d like. Have fun writing!

I felt the weight of this prompt.

The C word, Cancer, scares me.

It’s taken many I have loved along the way.

But there is always hope. Recently, I heard that there is a drug that has been trialled, which could reverse some cancers.

Wouldn’t that be a blessing?

I just hope it doesn’t become a life lottery, that those who can afford it can have it, and those who can’t, spend their time wishing and hoping…

A few years ago, I did the Cancer Research Moonlight Walk with some friends, and we raised quite a lot of money. Nearly £2000!

It was a beautiful, tough 12.5-mile walk around Central London at night time. It needed to be tough, though, along with having a few laughs to remind us of what we were walking for. Who we were raising money for.

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 3rd 2023, is “solo.” Use the word “solo” any way you’d like. Have fun!

When the word solo comes to mind, the first thing I think of is singing.

I’m a great car singer, and a shower singer. I often perform solos there, a) because none of the others will join in, in the car, and b) because I am alone in the shower!

If I’m honest, I don’t think I’m too bad of a singer… but that’s just my opinion!

Stepping up, solo
Blanking out the audience
Microphone in hand
Singing alone is a dream
And a nightmare all at once
