As Linda G. Hill says:
And, it’s a wrap! Today is our thirty-first prompt for Just Jot it January 2023. This month has felt like the longest month ever, and yet it’s flown by. I won’t say too much here because I want to leave some for tomorrow’s wrap up post. But what do you say we finish this thing with a flourish?
Linda G. Hill – Just Jot It January
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 31st 2023, is “write.” Use the word “write” any way you’d like. Have fun!
René Descartes wrote, “Cogito, ergo sum” — “I think, therefore I am.” Forgive me for drifting strait from French Philosophy to Star Trek – The Next Generation, but I can’t resist. Moriarty, the fictional nemesis of Sherlock Holmes, or, in this case, Lieutenant Commander Data portraying Sherlock Holmes uttered those words to stake his claim on existence in the episode, Elementary, Dear Data. Daniel Davis played Professor James Moriarty in one of the best guest star roles in the series. He reprized that role in Ship in a Bottle, and the two episodes rank among my favorites.
What if Descartes had said “Scribo ergo sum” — “I write therefore I am” — I think many of us would fail to recognize the philosophical value of the statement while we waited for the next word. What would René have added? He wrote a lot, perhaps he would simply add the word “Tired.” According to Google, that would be:
Scribo, ergo fessus sum.
Submitted for my final Jot in this year’s challenge. For the first time in JusJoJan’s history, I linked a Jot to Linda’s page every day. I posted three jots beyond the deadline, a transgression I think Linda will forgive. This challenge always gets me in the mood to write more. It’s a fantastic way to start the new year. Perhaps I should say “I jot, therefore I write.” Google’s got nothing to offer on that one.
I’d like to mention that our host for this wonderful challenge has a new book that came out today! Stroked: A Romantic Comedy (Once a Week at Woody’s Book 3). My copy is in my Kindle app. You can get yours on Amazon (and I’m sure some other places).
Instead of a gallery of photos, I’m going to close with proof that I write, and a bit of shameful self-promotion.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
