SusanF - Have you ever had writer's block, Kathy?
Rosedust2 - Where did the idea of CC come from?
KathyCarmichael - http://pub46.bravenet.com/photocenter/album.php?usernum=3903185825
Rosedust2 - I love the cover
Simone - Thank you, LeeHyat
KathyCarmichael - The idea for CC came from shopping at Sears with my mother <ggg> Thanks Rosedust!
KathyCarmichael - Yes, I sorta kinda have. I get stuck when I write if I've twisted the wrong way when writing. Since I'm a pantser, that's always a possibility.
Rosedust2 - Now that is different
KathyCarmichael - Hi Simone
trishj - Eeek! Something is burning in my kitchen, and I'm pretty sure it isn't the puppy. brb. But with this puppy, I can't be sure.

KatBos - Hmmmm, Trish will have an interesting story to tell I bet!!
SusanF - Can you tell us why you like to write comedy?
KathyCarmichael - When I was a kid, I used to hide in the racks of clothes (from my mom)
Rosedust2 - I love comedy in romance. Most affairs are really funny when you think about it
Rosedust2 - I did that too. FUNNNNN
KathyCarmichael - Yes, I love writing comedy. There have been rough times in my life when reading comedy has helped me make it through. By writing it, I feel I'm returning the favor. I LOVE making people laugh
LeeHyat - KC, in your opinion, what are the three most essential ingredients of a 'good' and 'satisfying' romance novel??
SusanF - What are your favorite comedies--books? movies? TV?
Simone - Good bye everyone, I will return another day. Thanks for the hospitality. Keep writing, Kathy..!
KathyCarmichael - Yikes, hard question, Lee ... First is a satisfactory pair bonding -- I want to believe these two people will LAST.
Rosedust2 - It just seems to happen at the least expected moment. A fancy dinner. A romantic walk
KathyCarmichael - Night Simone
LeeHyat - Thanks for coming in to chat, Simone!! Night!
Rosedust2 - Bye Simone
KatBos - Night Simone.
LeeHyat - KC, I like to make your life difficult, dontcha know?
KathyCarmichael - Second is real conflict -- internal -- keeping them apart (not just outside stuff)
KathyCarmichael - and last is I want to see these people grow into people who can make a relationship last. Growth and change
Simone - - from 205.188.198.163 on 11/24 at 9:21pm EST
KatBos - Kathy, wonderful answers!!
KathyCarmichael - My favorite movies are all the old romantic comedies -- forties stuff. Fav movie of all time is Philadelphia Story. I love romantic comedy movies of today, too. I think SOMETHING ABOUT MARY is one of the funniest movies ever.
Rosedust2 - KC. I have a hard time finding a conflict tough enough to keep my H/H apart. They seem so contrived
LeeHyat - wonderfully said, KC! Thanks.
SusanF - Great!
KathyCarmichael - Fav authors of today include Trishie and Susan Love Evanovich. Love Georgette Heyer.
Rosedust2 - Youve Got Mpil is my all time favorite
Rosedust2 - Mail!! I meant
LeeHyat - btw, KC, Mo said Hi and sorry she can't attend but she needs a new computer in order to access this chatroom.
KatBos - My favorite movie of all time was The Glass Bottom Boat with Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
SusanF - I meant comedy writers, but thanks, KC.
LeeHyat - I love Susan Fox too.

LeeHyat - You've got great taste, KC.
KathyCarmichael - Really, Rosedust? Think back to when you met your hubby -- was it totally easy to fall in love? My hubby and I had to work at it, compromise. The issues involving compromise are often the threads for internal conflict.
SusanF - Thanks Lee. I need to change my color to blush.
wimew - Hello everyone
Go on to Part 2
