Agreed, also.
Yes, WdC contests do need more serious thinking and planning, and they are priceless for writers to test their own craft. And like you, I bet most of us will need time to come up with a good story or a writing of any sort.

I agree 100% with everything you said. Sadly though, we live in a pretty small house, there's no room for my children to join us, nor are their houses large enough for us. I think living as a large family is nice, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. My only concern (here in the states) is that the daughter I might live with would get tired of cooking for a group. Yes, we could cook, at times. She has a problem being on her feet for extended periods of time, I can be on my feet, but my sciatica nerve pain tends to 'act up'. It would be a challenge, that's for sure. A challenge, but not impossible.
I agree with you about Picoult being very formulaic. I have about 12 of her books and I too stopped reading her work because they felt the same despite the story or setting.
Things are looking up! Good news from my doctor after she was concerned about a blood test result. She sent me for a CT scan on my liver as the levels had suddenly shot up. She was worried it might be cancer. All clear thank goodness. The levels are gradually going down and I have to repeat the bloods on Friday.
So hard to write anything at the moment, but I’m enjoying reading other’s stories on WdC. Should really give reviews but I’m so tired at the moment it wouldn’t be fair to anyone not to give full attention to their work.
I’m enjoying feeling a bit better and so appreciative of being alive!
