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.
Quiet day today so took the opportunity to send two reviews. I’m enjoying reviewing, it amazed me how varied are the stories here at WdC. My birthday tomorrow, swimming and coffee with the swimming class, then hubby is taking me out for lunch. The weather is going to be typical for July, raining and cold. But I don’t care, so long as I’m well enough to enjoy my day.
