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 am so laughing, Cheryl, because I do the same. Last week, I lopped the top off mine. The bottom has finally gotten long enough for me to twist up into a big clip and keep it off my neck but the top has to be short. Really short. Feels so ugh better. :o)
Cheryl, this is funny because I clipped mine short all around my face and my husband repeatedly says I should not be allowed scissors or knives.
Anyway a good de-stressor for me is a laughter. Get me to laugh, and it's like untying the knot in a balloon
Cutting my own hair would create even more stress for me!! You're a brave woman!
As for what I do when I'm frazzled? I just SCREAM in all caps to a friend, using all the !!!!! and onomatopoeias I need to express it! By the time I get through, I'm laughing at myself. (I had one of those days yesterday, and Tim brought me a treat, saying he felt I really needed it - a GIGANTIC Hershey bar with almonds. He apologized for not buying the biggest Whitman sampler box they make, saying he didn't have enough money for that one!)
Today is better. ;-) Except I still need a haircut. Ha!
I was very Frazzled Thurday,
and last week,
so to defazzl myself, one day I tore the tile off the bathroom walls. it felt good.
Then one day, I tryed talking turkey with a turkey. :)
I have to keep my hair short, if it gets to long on top, my head starts to hurt.
No kidding, Ane. I'm so glad I'm not the only one. If I can stand to let it grow that long again, I'll try it, but I do love short. However, it's already back on my neck and perspiration is a given in Missouri, even in late March.
Oh, Mary, I'd think it would be really cute all around the face. That's how mine is, and though it's always wet, when I do get it dry I love it!
Okay, I also scream online, Tracy, but if you want to do something outlandish but not permanent, you can get an impermanent hair color and put it in your hair. But really, chocolate is much better.
jel, I can understand the feeling of accomplishment of tearing the tile off the walls--and I"m sure you're prepared with new tile, too. ;-) Talking turkey with a turkey must be something like talking cat with a cat. Our cats have learned our language, but we haven't learned much of theirs. yet. I think they're smarter. LOL
I tryed to call a turkey up with a turkey call. did look for a little while, but must had sayed somthing wrong,cause he run off :(
and no didn't put any tile back up.
we went with panneling, :)
jel, I think turkeys have a complicated language. Also, paneling is easier to clean than tile. I've placed cute little appliques on my white tiles for a change of scenery.

ya know looking at that picture up there, It's a wonder that Mel's not like a pin cushion. :)
I try to comb down my quills before Mel gets home from work, jel.
