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.
Went to see our daughter today, she’s sounding positive but it’s hard to get too excited about her mental health recovery and her alcoholism problem. We’ve been dealing with this for so long, I for one am feeling jaded and weary.
However we went for a coffee and she looked great, she’d made an effort in her appearance which is a great sign.
Preparing for a week of tests before my operation on Friday. I’m feeling confident though, it’s a life saver and just trying to think positive and thankful we live where we live. Great health service, even though we complain sometimes, it’s so much better than most countries.
I’m so lucky to have the support of my husband and the rest of my family. Feeling blessed.
