But I was very productive in July, and I am happy to report for this month's Insecure Writers Support Group that I finally uploaded DISPOSAL as an ebook (totally forgot I didn't do that!)
AND... CONDUCTION is now in the polish/publish phase. This part of the writing journey is tough and time-consuming, so I might not get it done by the end of this year as I would like, but I'm going to give it my best shot! Anyone interested in a critique partner exchange, let me know!
Puppy Update
Help Wanted
Back to my CONDUCTION publishing goal. I am seeking help with: a cover, editing, and Goodreads--and I'm willing to pay $$. I'm putting this out there to my writing friends first, and if you have any recommendations, I'll take those too! This writing gig is too vast to get it all done by myself when I also have a very busy full-time job. If you have any advice, feel free to share that as well.
Lastly, we have three great posts coming up at the IWSG Anthology website:
8/2 - Getting Middle Schoolers Excited About Reading by Sherry Ellis
8/9 - Wait For It... Patience Through Metaphors by Bish Denham
8/16 - TBD by Ellen Jacobson
We have a few opening left in 2023, but we'll need more in 2024. Let me know if you're up for it.
Hope you are finding time and motivation to write this sultry summer
And as the sun sets on this hot and humid season,
We will welcome my favorite time of year...
Fall.

I don't believe our cover artist could do your style but I do recommend our editor, Lynda Dietz.
Three pups! Oh my goodness.
Three Goldens? You have tripled the cute factor!
Three puppies??? WOW!!! So, so adorable!!!
Hooray for all your writing progress—I'm so excited for you. (I could probably help with editing, if you want.)
Congratulations on your productive writing month! It feels so good to get a lot done, even when it's hard work.
Congrats on the book progress!
More puppies??? You better share pics!
After the last boy left the nest, I got a cat to add to my pet zoo. I think we're so used chaos raising boys that a quiet house is uncomfortable.
I always use Carrie Butler. She's my go-to for all things book help.
When you're done, check with me and I'll see if I have time to beta. Right now I am overwhelmed, but I have high hopes for a quieter fall.
Hi Tara - gosh you are busy ... three puppies - delightful and your youngster keeping you both 'with it' ... good luck with all things - cheers Hilary
Three puppies!? You will be busy! It’s crazy how school schedules are so different everywhere. We go through the very end of June and then start at the beginning of September. My kids are looking forward to it…and so is mommy!
3 pawed friends? You are busy. Good luck with school. The summers seem to get shorter and shorter. Hope you find a good cover artist.
