1. You make out your grocery list with chapter headings.
2. Instead of P.S. you use epilogue.
3. You start editing yourself while you speak.
4. You correct emails and send them back with suggestions on how to make the ending stronger.
5. You reject the family photos because the hero doesn’t look strong enough.
6. You send back the family Christmas letter with a statement that you don’t do straight Science Fiction. Add a titillating piece between the captain of the ship and the terrestrial hunter and you might be interested.
7. You re-name your children after romance characters.
8. In your “real” job, your annual report to the board begins … “Her nipples peaked at the very thought of him …”
9. You’re in the middle of a make-out session and you stop to take notes.
10. You refer to your friends as “secondary characters”.

I may not be a writer, but these are hilarious!
I think these apply to romance readers too.
ROFLOL. TOO Funny!
Oh good. As I was writing this I wasn't really sure if it was funny or just plain *groan*. You've made my little ol' heart warm. Thank you.
Sorry about the confusion yesterday but I forgot how to spell Siobhan lol.
We are the champions (is that snarky?) I counted at least 3 of us steeler fans lol.
And horray for the Penn State Nitany Lions too (my daughter graduates this weekend.)
And I thought those were hysterical - I especially liked No. 9!
Oh that was too funny!! and I agree with Christa--that could apply to us readers only too :)
Oh and I GET to go to Casper Wyoming next week! Yee Haw!! My hubby just said...remember you are married and can NOT bring a cowboy home with you :) of course he tells me that when I go to Texas too :) hee hee!
lmao, gotta copy & paste this one. Thanks for sharing!
I actually DID something like number 8, lol!!
I'll have to post about it on my blog when I'm at loose ends sometime...
Thought my supervisor was gonna have a stroke. Made the whole thing worth it! :-)
I love these, Bailey, especially numbers 8 and 10.
Very cute and funny. Where *do* you come up with all of this?
You'd be surprised what pops into romance readers' heads for certain occasions. Luckily, unlike my mother, I've never tended to think out loud. LOL
Where do I come up with these? Oh who knows, some weird sick part of my mind. *gg*
WHat a great post to come back to!
LOL!!
Good thing I'd already drunk my coffee! *giggle*
I think most of these apply to writers of other genres too. Very funny, Bailey. Thanks.
These are priceless! Plugged you on my blog.
Love the avatar.
That is too funny!
Nice list. I like the one about taking notes!
These are just so funny. I love how the 'weird sick part of your mind' works! LOL
number nine - definitely number nine - hehehe
oops was that out loud?
*giggles* #8 cracked me up. So did #9. I love your sense of humor! I think that's why your spam is so good. :-)
fyi -- I'm giving away another book on my blog if you're interested.
Those are a riot!!!
Good ones, lol!
That proves it, I'm not a romance writer... rofl
Number eight cracked me up!!!
Excellent. Brilliant. Hilarious. What more can I say except that you are a genius, Eve? Catslady please don't worry about spelling my name right I'm used to any variation you may come up with! LOL
