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.

It's encouraging to know that it isn't just unpublished me that gets that feeling about my first draft!
I'm so glad to know that you feel this way, Denise. Thanks for the advice on letting the first draft be the first draft, too. I want everything to be perfect, guess I'll have to learn to let go of that!
Yup, been there, and recently too :-)
Amen and amen, Denise! I love the editing process where I can really layer my story. If I try to do too much in the first draft, I end up losing the plotline. Blech! :o( You know - the old forest for the trees thing.
Denise,
GREAT post! I'm with you, feeling your pain. You had me laughing out loud.
Yes, my first pile is dog doo, too. If only I could remember that along the way.
Hugs, Rachel
Whew. At least I'm not alone ...
So what do you do after that? Sometimes I can't even bear to read what I've written, much less edit! *facepalm*
I found my problem! I keep trying to do that AS I write. Then I end up getting frustrated and shoving that WIP away and starting something else, refreshed only to be deterred once more. Hmmmm. Thanks! lol
