My name is Tracy Ames. I’m an author of interracial erotic fiction. My stories are a sensual feast for your senses; mind, body and soul.
I began writing short stories for monthly newsletters and, believe it or not, my friends. After much encouragement, I’m ready to offer you a taste of what only a few have previously savored.
A native of the San Francisco Bay area, I currently split time between Greenwich CT & New York City with my husband, young daughter and a host of pets.

I thought about my emo post yesterday. Maybe perhaps it wasn’t a good idea after all. What if, by talking about my loss and subsequent meltdown, I inadvertently triggered painful memories for my readers? What if they didn’t have the support system I have and they’re all alone mere seconds away from self-harm?
Dude! That sucks! Sorry if I upset anyone. I didn’t mean to trudge up events you’d suppressed. Maybe I should think before I post, lol! If anyone needs to chat offline, you know how to reach me.
Cheers

Tracy honestly I think the yesterday's discussion was fine. For some people the "friends" online allows them to be themselves and I think your readers would know there is no area untouched by you. and if any of them need to chat you have always held your door open. Please don't add more burden on that shoulder of yours.

Judy, I like having an open forum where we chat about any and everything. You're right, some people feel more comfortable talking with their online friends...that's perfectly fine. I hope everyone realizes my door is always open.

I agree with Judy. It's a benefit to know that there are more sides to you.

Thanks Kiana. Yeah, there are many different layers to my madness. :)

I agree with Judy, I tend to find myself opening up more with the friends I have met online, that's not to say I don't have a support system. I enjoy reading all your posts and reading all the responses from your readers. I doubt if anyone who shared yesterday was upset about the topic. If it was too sensitive for me I would have just read it and moved on without responding.

Ah, I understand. I love having all of you join in our threads. To be honest, I've come to see you guys as more than just readers or fans. For better or worse, we've shared a lot about our lives with one another....and that's taking nothing away from the support network we have at home.
Does that make sense? You can tell me if I'm nutty, it won't upset me. :) |

Your post is about as honest as you can get and it does help others knowing that someone else is going thru the same feelings. I completely understand what you are going thru been there myself and still going thru it. Thank you for sharing just a little bit about how you are feeling.

Thanks Ladies. I was a bit worried that I'd opened a can of worms...not only for those who replied on the thread but also the lurkers. What if one of the lurkers blew their head off because I pushed their hot button?
Yeah, fare thee well! |
