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.
Had a lovely surprise this morning to find I’d been awarded a package of gifts from the Rockin’Reviewers for completing the course.
Entered a new story into my portfolio, I’m actually pleased with it, so hope it at least gets read.
Went to the open day of the learning center this morning. Bought a few Knick-knacks for the kids from the white elephant stall. John got lots of books as usual.
Called in to see daughter Sarah whilst we were in the neighbourhood.
Sad about my granddaughter and her husband splitting up, they told the kids this week. Indi was the most upset, but she’s older and realised how different things will be. Such a shame.
The rain has been steady and we’ve had a good soaking. It’s really cold though, so our log fire is working overtime.
