Good Evening Everyone,
The votes have been counted…”Beg Me” is the story you’ve chosen as the next weekly series with 1410 votes!

Tied in second place is “Office Politics" and “Fox & Hound", both with 966 votes. What am I going to do? How am I going to choose between the two? ***Shaking Head***

Writing “The Secretary” series was an absolute joy. I’m not one of those ‘lost for words’ people however, right now, I am. I can’t thank you all enough for following the story and keeping me motivated along the way. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in my life.
I can’t speak for all authors but I feel we get caught up, lost, in the publishing/business side of our profession and before long we can’t ‘feel’ our readers. Believe it or not, we need to ‘feel’, to connect, with the people who enjoy our craft. With full confidence in the other authors/writers on the site, I announced in an earlier blog post that I would be pulling away from writing new stories for the site because of my tight publishing schedule.
“My guys can take care of it,” I said.
But after a couple of weeks, I thought better of that decision. It wasn’t about being worried that somehow the site would go to shit because I took my eye off of it. It was, in fact, that I felt disconnected. Seriously, there I was typing out my story outline, rummaging through my day planner, trying to come up with the next ovary-melting sex scene, annoying the crap out of my new copy editor when POW!...it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I’d lost that lovin’ feelin’….I’d lost touch. Well, not really because you guys were still emailing me directly. But I wasn’t blogging as frequently nor was writing with much enthusiasm. I was feeling down. So, I started chatting with friends and fellow authors (more to come on that tomorrow) about my shift in mood. Long story short, I jumped back into the site and haven't looked back!
aaaawww HOME!

Oh Tracy I know your mental anguish. I am about to have a fit with the tight publishing schedule I have the rest of the year. 4 books in 3 months. I was so ready to get started on Courtney's story but I have to sleep. Oh well! I will get started on it soon enough and when I do I will make it super juicy!
I'm excited to see you extend Beg Me. Should be very interesting. Waiting with great anticipation! |

Thanks Steph! I figured you'd understand where I was coming from. It's tough but I love it....I love my life! I'm surrounded by talented down-to-earth people that I actually enjoy sharing breathing space.
Take your time sweetie. Don't go into the light....just relax and take your time. |

Oh I am so mad at you. Don't go into the light...hilarious! Poltergeist happens to be one of my favorite movies!
But you are so right. I love to hear from the readers. I like to interact with them. Without the readers I wouldn't be were I am. None of us would be. So in case I haven't said it lately...Thanks for the support! |

Yea! We all won. Yes, "Beg Me" was my top choice and I cant' wait to see what you will do with that story. Thanks for deciding to continue to provide your stories on the site, as well as your blogs. I know I look forward to them in helping me get through a crazy work week.

I didn't think you guys would have taken to "Beg Me" given its kinkier bent but, hey, I’m not questioning it.
I have a professor tell me "There are people who write and people who 'have' to write". Yeah, I didn't have a clue what he meant either. Then about three years ago the flood gates opened now I can't stop writing. Writing, for me, is a release. My blog: is my platform whereby I attempt to bore the stinking pants off of my readers. My weapon of choice: the English vernacular. My ability to chronicle every nanosecond of my banal daily life in infinitesimal detail is bound to leave some of them dazed and confused, and others strangely aroused. |
