Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

Gosh, that is so true,Denise. I get tired of hearing people think it must be easy. It's SO not a walk in the park.
That's good stuff, Denise! It's easy to say you can do it, but it's another thing to sit down in front of a blank screen/page, whatever.
It's a great reminder of how we need to keep practicing and honing our craft. Speaking of which, I flipped over to THIS screen to avoid my BLANK screen today. LOL
Denise, that is a wonderful way of looking at it! Thanks for the viewpoint. And I think you're on to something! =)
The minute they know you write, they say it. And if you aren't published yet, they can do it and get published right away! LOL
I've never thought of a blank page that way. Yikes!

I decided I was going to write a book, just because there are no books about someone like me. I think I might've completed a paragraph.
Could someone write a book about a thirty-something girl who is a stay at home mom to her 2 pre-teen boys, and home-schools them? She decided a few years ago it would be a brilliant idea to move away from her family and friends in Colorado to live with her boyfriend in California (he got stationed here in the military). Now life is really not what she thought it would be 5 years ago.
That's all I want. A book like that, instead of about fabulous single girls and their fabulous jobs in fabulous cities with tons of super hot guys for the pickin' and all kinds of interesting friends. I can't find a book about someone like me. I guess I'm really not that interesting *sniff*
Oh... and I have the highest respect for you all and your talents, and will never again decide that I can write a book.. hee hee!
Gee, I was almost intimidated about going back to work on my wip after reading that, however, I go on. I have too many books in my head that are clamoring to get out, so this one has to be finished!
I guess that's what you mean about the brave one go on. You just do it.
I remember years ago (about 17-18), when my husband and I (married about a year and a half) went to volunteer at a soup kitchen and place that offered furniture and clothing to the poor and homeless. The owners told us, with straight faces, that they were writing a book that would make them a million dollars so their charity could grow and help more people. Even then, I was a member of RWA and KNEW that wasn't going to happen, but they were just SURE that it would.
I wonder what happened to them.
