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.
Describe a mid-morning day where you are? Many of us talk about sunrises or sunsets, but what is special during the middle of your morning.
This is my favourite part of the day. By 10.30 I have been awake and busy for four hours. Breakfast has been dealt with, dishes washed, kitchen cleaned and beds made. I usually book appointments for in the morning, as early as possibly. So if a dentist’s visit or a doctor’s appointment has been organised it’s usually been done. But no matter where I am it’s coffee time.
If my husband has been doing outdoor work, he’ll pop his head in and say; ‘it’s coffee o’clock.’
I think these moments which break up a day are important. I’m not even sure it’s about the coffee, more about giving yourself permission to stop what ever it is you’re doing, just for 20 minutes or so.
