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.
The bad times continue it seems. Had a request for a reassessment of a mammogram this week, after biopsy it seems I have early breast cancer. Lumpectomy in a couple of weeks and four weeks of radiotherapy to follow.
Looking on the bright side it’s apparently small and easily treatable so that’s what I’ll do: looking on the bright side.
Warning ladies, keep up with your Mammograms.
This week has been really difficult, for my daughter as well as me and my husband.
Our daughter’s marriage has broken down and on the day we were to take her into a rehabilitation facility, her husband decided to be horrible to her and blame her for everything. She was devastated and we had to leave her crying at a new place where she knew no one. We aren’t allowed any contact for a month, no phone calls only letters. I have written three letters already. I have no idea how she is going on, it’s heartbreaking.
