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.
Use these words in your entry: fog, sea, wind, desolate, seagulls, thunderstorms, and use this quote as well: “There is peace even in the storm” ― Vincent van Gogh. Have fun.
‘There is peace even in the storm isn’t there?’ My husband whispered during a break in the claps of thunder. Our dog, hiding in the cupboard under the stairs would have disagreed, I’m sure. He hates thunderstorms and prefers to go anywhere to avoid hearing the sounds of the wind whistling under the eaves.
I looked out of the window to the desolatesea, at the seagulls swooping and screeching on the thermals in the leaden sky, the view limited because of the fog rolling in. Soon there’ll be a white nothingness blanketing our home. Perhaps then I will agree with my husband’s use of Van Gogh’s quote.
