Books that have changed my life
I need to bolster my faith which flags, it seems, with bad news. I also pick books that changed my life.

My favorite authors
Food and cooking/Holiday recipes, fashion & makeup! 🙂
I like to see Food , Holiday Celebrations, Authors who influence you and Hobbies. My thoughts are: do you have pets and do you travel to places for ideas?
I like #9 favorite TV shows and why. I’m always curious why some people get so hooked on certain tv shows. It would be interesting to hear why certain shows become favorites. I really prefer a mixture of topics, however.
Hi DiAnn,
I’d love to hear about your favorite authors & books that have changed your life, favorite TV shows/movies & why, and how you put your mind into the head of a character. I enjoy your multi-layered characters/stories and appreciate the research you put into them. Your books never fail to please. Thank you for writing them.
(I plan to watch “High Crimes” this weekend because it was a favorite movie of some characters in your book Deadly Encounter)
5, 6 and 20 sound great!! 🙂
I love to hear about books that have changed people’s lives, so definitely #7.
#9 & #10, because those things are a HUGE part of my life as a TV-related blogger and podcaster.
Guilty Pleasures? Yes please. Who DOESN’T want to know about that stuff?
Those are great suggestions, but I’ve also enjoyed your blog as it is – you come up with some really inventive entries. I know I might be too late for the contest, but I wanted to get my two cents in anyway. 🙂
I like to know what authors like to read and who their favorite authors are and why. I’m intrigued by how you come up with story ideas. What books have made a great impact on your life and why? What do you do when you get writer’s block? ? I’ve been reading your books since you were published through Heartsong Presents. And BTW, my maiden name is Mills and one of my sisters’ name is Diane Mills. ?

Hi, DiAnn!
This is a great idea. I love learning more about you, the author. I’m interested in what makes you tick, your hobbies, what you like to cook. I think it’s fun too when you have guest interviews and when you tell the readers which authors you like to read. I don’t think that’s showing favoritism toward other authors, it just lets us know what interests you.
Hello! I love reading your blog. My top three would be Food & Cooking, Guilty Pleasures & Holiday ideas.
I think there have been many wonderful suggestions. Something that would particularly interest me would be hobbies – yours and perhaps those of other authors. I’m quite sure that y’all must have something that helps you relax. 🙂
Hi DiAnn,
I would love posts about your favorite writers, books that have changed your life (and how and why), favorite movies and TV shows (and why), and the writer’s life. I would especially like to read about challenges you have faced in writing and promoting your books, and how you overcame them.
Food and cooking, Faith, Guest blogs, My Favorite Authors, Books that have changed my life, The Writer’s Life, My fav TV shows and why, My fav movies and why, Hobbies, Other writer hobbies, Guilty pleasures (what I do when life goes crazy), What expert blogs I follow? My fav Facebook pages, My fav Twitter accounts, How do I put my mind into the head of a character?, How do I pick out a fiction or nonfiction book?, Fav vacation spots, Holiday celebrations, Holiday recipes and decorations. What I like about being a writer.
Anything book/author-related. I’m always very curious to know how my favorite authors come up with the ideas for their stories, how they develop their characters, what their own favorite books, authors, or genres are, etc. I also enjoy learning about authors’ hobbies and interests and see if that is evident at all in their writing.
Faith, Guest blogs, My favorite authors, Books that have changed my life
The Writer’s Life, What expert blogs I follow?, An interview with my husband (you’d have to give me questions), How do I put my mind into the head of a character?, Holiday celebrations, Holiday recipes and decorations
I like these. I included the interview with your husband, but I’m not sure what questions I’d want to have asked.
I’d like to read about makeup.
The Writer’s life. As a struggling writer I would love to know some tips and tricks.
ROMANCE ROMANCE ROMANCE!!
Hobbies and something you feel very heartfelt about.
I would like to know about your guilty pleasures when your world gets crazy.
I would love to hear about all of them. I especially love reading when you blog something about desserts or dishes you made for guests you were entertaining.
Faith , fashion and hobbies would be of interest to me .
I would like to read about an author’s hobbies. I can not imagine that some authors would have time to write and have a hobby. I would think either would be time consumming. Really though, I can see where a hobby would be a good diversion from writing.
7, 8, and 18 for me! Happy Autumn!
I would love to hear the answers to #6,#9,#10 and #22
I love to read your blog posts on your writing life. I get a lot out of your tips for writers. I would also like to read about other authors and books that you recommend. I would probably read just about anything that you blog about because you have such a wonderful sense of humor. Thanks for the giveaway and the chance for the readers to have input.
Faith and anything book/author related.
Also, I don’t know what questions I would ask, but it would be fun if you interviewed your husband.
Faith, your favorite authors & hobbies. Really any of the above.
I am always looking for new authosr to read. I would like recommendations of authors to read.
Maybe a bit about food and fashion.
The blogs that I would like to read are :
Faith, Guest Blogs, My Favorite Authors, Guilty Pleasures, What Expert Blogs I Follow,
My Favorite FB Pages, How Do I Put My Mind Into The Head Of A Character (I get a headache just thinking about that one), last but not least, Your Thoughts? How Do I Relax?
Thanks for giving these your considerations.
food & recipes, makeup, holiday recipes, books and TV shows
I would be most interested in 6,7,8,18,19 – I have discovered some of my favourite authors through the recommendations of other authors!

I would love to hear about what books or authors you like to read, how you decorate for the holiday, recipes you might want to share, your guilty pleasures, and where you get your ideas for your books or characters!
Holiday decorations, DIY tutorials, giveaways, new releases and pets.
I always like to know the story behind the story. Travel interests me especially when it is writer/book related.
#’s 1, 11, 18, & 22 would be my first choices.
I love food and cooking, books that changed your life, guest blogs.
I would like to see posts about your favorite recipes, holiday dishes and decor and also posts about what you are reading. I have found many good books through author recommendations.

I just like to get to know the author. A glimpse outside of your writing life. Hobbies, interests, favorite ? , interesting people you’ve met…
I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the topic of:
Can an alpha male exist in a politically correct society?
1,4,6,7,8,10,13,18,19,20,21,22
My favorite on your list is “books that have changed my life” or any media that has greatly impressed you. Like several others, I have really liked your own blog topics.

Hi, Diann! I agree with Marilyn above me. How is what God is teaching you a part of your writing? Along with that would be how do you put yourself in the head of your characters? What is the writer’s life like (what is going on with your writing life)?
For me honestly, anything you want to share–favorite recipes, favorite books/movies, vacation spots, Scriptures, …
Thanks for all you do to share with your readers and help us know you better!
I would love to know what authors you read. I’m always looking for new authors. I wouldn’t mind reading how you put a book together either. I don’t really know the process an author goes through.

An interview with your husband. lol. What’s it like living with a writer? Does she drive you crazy when she’s stumped over something?

I ike to hear your own book recommendations and of course upcoming releases.

And this one is my own suggestion – recently my elderly Mom moved in with me and I am shocked at how very little there is online for caretakers, even suggestions for entertaining Seniors, or inspirational Senior stories. We all love our parents/grandparents, lets explore that! . I’d love to see topics about Seniors
I would be interested in all of them, but I am especially interested in favorite TV shows, mind of characters, and the holiday ones.

So many to choose! LOL My list would be. . .4, 5, 7, 11, 22 and 23. Thanks for the offer of choice!!

My responses in order of interest:

Thanks for asking.
My favorites are # 1,2,7,10,13,18.19,22
Favorite author – helps us find new good books when we run out of your books
Love hearing about books you are reading or have read. And about authors that you really like.
I like most of the above ideas. It’s nice to read different things. They broaden my knowledge and me.
6,13,14,15, & 18 looks like interesting topics
I love all of the above but I also love behind the mind of an author blogs. You know the things that make you stop and think “that would be great in a book”. Things that get the wheels turning and end up being amazing books, where the ideas come from, the little things that turn in to big ideas. Thoughts about the writing process, do the characters talk to you, do they argue about what you intend to do, do the characters actually end up taking the story someplace you did not intent to go? The odd stuff that only authors know but readers want to! That would be amazing!
I like topics that have to do with how you came up with storylines, about you, food, and of course any new books or contests your involved with.
I liked the books that have changed my life. This one takes a lot of thought.
There are a few topics that I would like to hear about. My favorite authors, my fav tv shows and why, my fav movies and why, guilty pleasures, a fun interview with your husband, fav vacation spots, holiday recipes and decorations and food and cooking.
I like 6, 7,8, 13, 14 and 20. It is always interesting to hear about people’s lives, I think just the “down to earth” side of your life, how you spend your days, what silly things happen to you, just funny day to day stories! Thanks for asking!
I would love to have about holiday recipes and decor. I am always looking for new things to do with my kids.
Books that changed your life would be fascinating.
Wow…there were so many that that were of interest to me…..1,3,4,9,11,13,21 and 22. Reading blogs is fun when I have finished a book and am looking for lighter reading or my next read(book). Thank you for asking! You make us readers feel special!
I like the ideas Books that changed your life, Favorite authors, Favorite TV shows and Movies, How you put your mind in the head of a character and Guilty Pleasure. These things help me know you !!! Thanks for asking us
I would be most interested in an interview with your husband. But 7, 9, 10, and 13 would be good to know, too.
I always love knowing an author’s favorite authors.
I like the question of how you get into your character’s heads, especially when there are more than one strong personality. I’m also interested in who your favorite authors are and in what you do to unwind when you’re not writing.
1,6,7,21,22 ….I also like tips on how to do almost anything that people have learned the hard way and random knowledge, like best way to make coffee.
I always wonder just how you go about putting your ideas together for a book. I enjoy reading about the Amish and wonder if you ever thought about writing a book about the Amish People.
I enjoy all your books DiAnn and always pass them along to our local Library when I finish reading them. Love your blog also. Love , Jane
I would love to see Books that have changed my life 🙂 Thank you.

What goes into plotting, researing and writing one of your books?
Researching
Hi DiAnn!
I LOVE each of your topic suggestions! 🙂 I don’t think I could pick just a few…how about you use all 23 and add in a few more and you’ll have a topic for each week of the year, lol.
I would like 1, 6, 7, 11, 14, and 22.
I’d read your blog on any of the topics above. I’d also like to read about where you get your plot ideas, what Christ is doing in your life… I think a blog post by one of your characters about how to look for God’s activity in your life (or other topics the character might write about) would be fun. If you write it, I’ll read it! 🙂
The topics of interest to me are: 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 18, 20 and 21. And to add one of my own, how about Character bios and interviews. I even like this info with the secondary characters too.
7,13,22
I like one and four -but really I’m interested in it all!
One question I think is always interesting to a reader is how did you decide on your style of writing and the plot within your book. Do you use a board to map your development of the characters and the book plot. These two questions always pop into my head when I first read a new author. Thanks for this chance to send my questions to you.
I’d like to see guest blogs and favorite authors.
I’d say “How do I put my mind into the head of a character?” interests me the most. I’m also into your favorite TV series /movies and why. Does it play into your ideas for your suspense novels?
Thanks!
Favorite authors, favorite books, and currently in your to be read pile ?
I would love to hear about books that have changed your life and how you put your mind into the head of a character. The interview with your husband would be cool too.
4, 7 and 23 would be interesting but actually all of them are appealing. I think it’s great you are asking for opinions!
The blog topics that interest me are #1-Food and Cooking, #4 Faith, #5 Guest Blogs, #22 Holiday Recipes and Decorations. Under the topic of faith I would like to see devotions or a daily Bible verse.
Numbers 1,20 21, and 22 are most interesting to me.
Numbers 6,7,8,13,14,and18 interest me.
1, 7, 13 and 22 are the topics that most appeal to me. Truly, I like things that make me think, reach into my past for things that shaped me, or touch a common theme in women’s lives.
Hi! and thank you for asking. I would love to know how you get the idea of a new book. Is it something you see or remember, a place you’ve traveled to? Before you sit down to write do you have an outline forming in your mind? I would also love to read about books you’ve read and feel connection to, even if it’s a children’s book or a cookbook! Finally, Guilty Pleasures sound like fun and maybe some new ideas for us to try!
I lie your blog. I don’t have any preferences for you. My husband and I cook for our church. We both read. Very different in our reading materials. We love friends and family. We are parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.
I like a mixture. Nothing extremely detailed though. Who you would recommend for authors/books, posts/tweets/articles that you found interesting, yes, tv and movies you liked, etc. Make it like talking to a friend not reading an article.
8, 18, 19. I’m really interested in how /what you write about but the other topics sound interesting too 🙂
#7, #8, #9, #10 and #21 all interest me.
Pets would also interest me as well
Your blogs always makes my day. I would like to learn more about your favorite authors, hobbies, holiday celebrations, recipes and decorations. To be honest I would enjoy what every you are willing to share.

The blog topics that interest me are faith, your favorite authors, books that have changed your life and how ordinary things become extraordinary blessings in your day-to-day life .
Hi Edwina, Thank you for the great blog post ideas. These are on the list!
Reading is very important to me, my parents read to us and took us to the library weekly… my sister passed away in April and she would give people books for presents for Christmas birthday, etc… the classics were a favourite to gives reading is very important to me now as a way to connect with her ?
Thank you, Ingrid, I’m compiling a list and yours have been added.
Books that have changed your life.
Guilty pleasures.
How do you put your mind into the head of a character?
An interview with your husband would be fun, especially if we really could write the questions.

If you will send me interview questions for my husband, I’ll write a blog interview.
Thanks!
Want to know about books that have changed your life. I have so often had my thoughts of life changed by what I have read. I am encouraged by your characters stories of faith and would love to know more about how God is working through the things you have read to develop their journeys. Do they often mirror your thoughts at the time?
Hi Marilyn,
Thanks so much. Your suggestions are on my list.
