Here are my answers:
1. The right title hasn't begun to spark in my mind. For now, I am calling it Sam and Hank. (seems boring, eh? Yeah. I need to find the right title)
2. The idea came on a very long drive home. My family snored and I was bored driving. To occupy my mind, this story bloomed.
3. The genre of my story is romantic comedy.
4. For my hero I would choose Ben Affleck (the look he had in Argo).For my protagonist I would choose Gwenth Paltrow (the look she had in Iron Man 1)
5. Pressured to take a vacation at the family Rocky Mountain lodge, corporate success, Samantha Hatman, is snow bound without Internet and must rely on mountain man Hank, a thorn from childhood, to save her job.
6. My book will be represented by an agency.
7. I am still writing the first draft. The book is one-third done to date. I hope to finish first draft by the end of the month.
8. The story sprinkles a bit of the Odd Couple, Hatfields/McCoys, and The City and Country Mouse.
9. A need to laugh.
10. This comedy is based on the verse, Oh how good and how pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity. Sometimes weird things have to happen to help us see what we have.
What do you think? Do you like the idea? Any suggestions?

I'm 1/3 of the way. Actually closing in on half.
Did over 5000 words this weekend. The goal is to finish by the end of January.
I thought of a possible title:
Sam's Snow Jam at the OK Lodge
One of the big snowstorms in the Atlanta area was known as Snow Jam so that is where the idea comes from. It was probably the largest traffic jam in our city's history.
It sounds like your character finds herself in quite a jam, too!
Blessings, Janice
My sister lives in the Atlanta area and tells of some nasty Februray weather days.
Snow Jam? I have learned a new term. :)
Yes, my MC finds herself in quite a jam, all adding to the comedy.
My story is that I rode the MARTA train from my downtown office tower to the station in Decatur. I got off and walked down the street to the apartment complex where I lived with a roommate. It took me probably 25-30 minutes to go that distance. The train was fast AND I could walk fast back then.
My roommate decided we might need some batteries for flashlights so she drove her car a few blocks away to our closest store and it took her maybe one or two hours to get back to our apartment in her car. It was unforgetable.
