Four days is 96 hours to precise, and now my countdown to Sunday's Heartland Season 6 Premiere is winding down as I knew it would, but it just seemed at times like September 16 would never get here.
Today's contribution to the visual countdown are those wordsmiths who come up with the stories for our favourite series.
There are 5 key writers who are responsible for Heartland's scripts. Here are 4 of them.
From left, Head Writer Heather Conkie, Mark Haroun, David Preston and Ken Craw. Unfortunately, Leila Basen was not around when the photo was taken; she was probably off riding her horse.

As writers, you deserve the standing ovations!! Without your skill, vision and story lines, the show would be nothing and Amber, Graham, Shaun, Michelle, and others would have no direction inwhich to use all their great talent and gifts in acting. So, Hurray for the writers!! And thanks for giving the story a sense of reality, a bit of thrill, a lot of feelings, and the anticipation that has so many fans from all over the world eagerly awaiting this next season. You are well appreciated!!
BW, again, such a good idea. Its wonderful to see faces and titles matched up to this wonderful production. I think it is so important that Heartland is more than Amber, Graham, Shaun, Michelle, Jessica, Kerry, etc....Without this supporting staff, crew and producers, Heartland would not exist. Thanks, again.

BW, now that we've seen most these wonderful people that make Heartland what it is why don't YOU reveal who you are because you are as much a part of Heartland as all these other people. Without your updates and your fantastic ideas to keep us entertained during the time that Heartland doesn't air, the wait would be even longer. Anyway that was just an idea that popped into my head and I thought I'd mention it. Anyone with me, who'd like to know who this wonderful person is???

Hi guys! I am from the US as well. I would really love it if you would relese season six to us at the same time it is relesed in Canada! You could even just allow us to watch it on your website. It would be so very awsome if you did that! If we can share Beiber we could so share Heartland! LOL :) Please!

Hello Blog Whisperer,
Again, THANK YOU for doing this as ALL 5 writers DESERVE MUCH APPRECIATION AND THANKS. Heather, Mark, David, Ken, and the 5th writer who was not in the picture above Leila THANK YOU ALL for the work that you do it "IS" because of YOU 5 that this show Heartland exists. Without YOU 5 there would be NO Heartland. Because each of you possess GREAT TALENT AND TRUE GIFTS. ALL of you have SUCH TRUE CREATIVITY that CAN'T be matched and that CAN'T be replaced.
This show has become what it "IS" today because of ALL of YOU the dedication and commitment that you ALL possess your determintation to see things through. One can EASILY see that when you ALL write your heart and your soul "IS" in the words that you write as it "IS" reflected in the characters that you create and the challenges that they must deal with. It takes GREAT TALENT to be able to write emotion through words as you 5 do, it takes TRUE GIFTS to be able to see the things and to create the things that pull on the viewer's heart strings. It takes TRUE CREATIVITY to take pen to paper or words on a keyboard to create an entire family, an entire community, and an entire world with the use of your imagination regardless of where the idea first started it takes TRUE IMAGINATION to recreate this story into a show for television. From me to YOU 5 THANK YOU and I AM ever so TRULY GRATEFUL for each and every single one of you. Your show TRULY does open up a person's eyes and makes them TRULY see things in a whole new perspective. It is because of YOU 5 and your imagination that now so many people have jobs and yes I am talking about those that work on Heartland that have a hand in doing things for this show Heartland. THANK YOU for helping to create jobs.
Sincerely,
Tanya

Hello Leanne,
Your words about Blog Whisperer are COMPLETELY ACCURATE because BW is a HUGE part of Heartland. BW is MOST DEFINITELY apart of the Heartland community and ALL of them together TRULY DO make up the Heartland family. I agree with YOU, BW does do an AMAZING AND AWESOME job of creating fantastic updates and also in keeping "us fans entertained during the time that Heartland doesn't air". You are right in another way as without BW keeping us entertained, the wait for Heartland "would be even longer". If it matters I am with you Leanne - I would like to know who this wonderful person "IS".
Sincerely,
Tanya

Wah!! It's the HL Writers' Room!!!
(Calm down, TC... it's only a room... where writers gather... to write Heartland episodes....)
Some people want to visit sets. Other people want to see where all the ideas come from.
They sure look like they're enjoying themselves in there, don't you think?
(Is it Sunday, yet?!!!)
