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.
I’ve been very slack not attending to my blog. I don’t know where the days disappear. I’ll blame it on winter.
Wettest June for many years and still it rains. That’s a good thing because we go for up to six months without seeing a drop. I used to have a summer birthday when I was a child in England, but now it falls in the coldest month of the year her in Perth Western Australia.
School holidays are starting next week, so will probably catch up with the great grandkids sometime.
My granddaughter Beth is coming up today for a visit. She’s exhausted from her directorship of the school musical. Everything seems to have gone wrong, but as they say it’ll be all right on the night. Fingers crossed.
