Welcome to my lair...
It's time for the Insecure Writers Support Group!
What scares you?
I get more worried than scared and avoid scary stuff. So surprises scare me most, especially when my boys jump out and startle me... they think it's hilarious.
Puppies get scared pretty easily which can be funny too as they figure things out. My little guys are now five months old. They're getting so big, but still have that puppy rambunctiousness and love sniffing out (and chewing up) whatever they can chomp their teeth into.
As expected, big, loud things make them run away--like my Roomba and the ironing board, haha. But they each have their own idiosyncrasies as well. Like puppies don't understand physics. Wagner is afraid of his food bowl moving when he eats! And he freaks if the toys shift in his bin, so he barks for me to get the one he wants. And even though he's big enough to jump up on the couch, he still plops his front half onto it and waits for someone to lift his rear up there. His brother, Jackson is a little smaller and has no problem jumping right up. But Jackson is more skittish. He's one of those dogs who barks at everything unfamiliar--even when he hears a dog barking on TV!

I'm also happy to report, I have been working on CONDUCTION, Pop Travel #4. It's about time! And I'm actually making progress. If you'd like to know more about that, hop on over to the IWSG Anthology blog for my guest post this week.
Keep writing!

Animals are funny. Yours are really cute.
I love that picture of the two pups together. So sweet!! I love the puppy stage. So much fun—makes all the hard work worth it.
Also....HOORAY for working on the next book!! Wishing you all the luck and fun and happiness with it!!
Hi Tara!
I'm so jealous of other people's dogs! We haven't had the heart (after 3.5 years) to get any more. But I sure do enjoy other people's dogs! Great reminder, too, to give characters emotions. I'm co-hosting today! https://gwengardner.blogspot.com/
Perfect time to talk about puppy fears with July 4th just behind us. My 1.5 yo puppy handled it much better than last year! How did yours do?
Love to see pictures of the puppies!
That's awesome that you're working on your next book.
Congrats on the writing progress!
My mother-in-law's one dog, Buster, is a wuss and it's hilarious. A butterfly scared him once and today he kept starting at the grass.
That's great you are working on the next book.
Those dogs tied themselves in a knot!
Yay - you're working on the next book!
We all have our quirks, don't we?
