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.

I have NOOOOO idea what you're talking about. I've been at my computer since 7:30 this morning. I've already finished my first project for the day. So there. (Of course, it was only a 2-hr. proofing job. It's now 11:00.)
**Sigh** :-)
I got so much more done before Facebook. And blog-reading. And whatever else it was I've been doing on this silly machine all day.
It is a hard balance because the networking is so important for building a reader base, especially being a new author and not established. (yet! hopefully. lol) Its very easy to spend more time blogging and FB'ing and drinking Diet Coke than writing, but I'm the one who usually works better under pressure. Yay for deadlines.
I'm so glad I'm not alone in this.
I started my morning with the Bible and the treadmill. A shower, a couple quick errands (bank, milk) and a load of laundry. Fired up the computer but needed to check the email to make sure there wasn't anything urgent from over the weekend. Sent one reply. Since I was online already, I surfed my favorite blogs for the Monday posts and a bit of inspiration. I'll actually open my WIP and work on rewrites next ... but it's kinda close to lunchtime so I should make the kids a sandwich.
Maybe I need a better reward system? With incentives for getting started quicker each day? Or get a Neo and do my typing on a machine without email/Internet?
Or, sigh, maybe all I need is a tad more self-discipline.
Boy does this describe me! But it's the subconscious needing time to work. At least that's what I tell myself! LOL
I can totally relate... as my writing assignment is due today and only half done. I guess this makes me a real writer then huh and not just an Apprentice? lol
Glad I'm on the right track with the best of y'all!
OMG...I saw Michael's post today. It's sooo true.
I've never been one to procrastinate. Even in undergrad/grad school. If a paper was due on a Thursday, it was done on Monday or Tuesday.
I know. I'm a FREAK! You can say it. I'm okay with it. **LOL**
Fun post. Thanks!
And I am sooooo....glad that I don't have any kind of deadline! I couldn't take the stress. When I was a kid I had a great desire to be a writer but then I saw how much work it entails, and I am like... nope not for me.
So my perverbial hat goes off to all writer's without them I wouldn't have any thing to read....especially my Star Trek novels, perish the thought.
I read this earlier today and was gonna comment.......but I'm just now getting around to doing it. n'est-ce pas? lol
