Hey all! Just want to give an update on my recent posting cadence: The current run of chapters for IMB is dealing with some pretty sensitive topics, and I want to make sure that I'm being respectful, realistic, and hitting the plot points in the way I envisioned. 
          	
          	So, basically I'm agonizing over word choice and stopping every five seconds to google technical details.
          	
          	Anyway, I'm alive and I'm making progress on IMB - it's just going *really* slowly at the moment.
          	
          	Thanks for your patience!

So, sometimes I do this thing where I decide that a certain chapter is pivotal and needs to be perfect. Even better, I let that expectation weigh on me until I'm frozen because nothing I write seems good enough until I finally push through and just post the damn thing because it's wrecking my creative process.
          
          Anyway, Chapter 49 is up!

Just got informed via my writing group that part of Hailey's backstory doesn't make sense. Gonna beat my head against a wall for a bit, then try to figure out how to fix it.

@authorphoebemorris I just looked it up. Most residents are bilingual, speaking both Catalan and Spanish. Catalan is more widely spoken in Barcelona, but Spanish is also spoken, esp with those from other parts of Spain. But that is what I have read. I have never been and don't know anyone from there.

@koolerthanyouuu Apparently having her study Spanish in Barcelona is a bit absurd because they speak Catalan there and aren't overly fond of Spanish? Gonna have to tweak that

I just finished reading your books IHB & IMB, and I have to say I absolutely loved it! The way you crafted the story, the depth of the characters, and the themes you explored really resonated with me. It’s rare to come across something so captivating and thought-provoking, and I’m so glad I read it. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece of work!

Thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed them!

@authorphoebemorris did you mean to repost chapter 48 of IMB today

@halimaabdikadir  Sorry about that! Let me clarify - not all chapters will be posted early. Sometimes I just don't have them ready far enough in advance. 
            
            For example, this last chapter of IMB wasn't ready to post early on Patreon, but I wanted to get a chapter up on Wattpad before taking my holiday hiatus.
            
            That said, while on my holiday hiatus, I'll be spending some time with a H*llmark Christmas movie fan, so expect some new "D*ck the Halls" soon!

Hey all: If you're invested in the current run of chapters for IMB, you might be interested to learn that the next two chapters are posted for early access on my Patreon! Check it out if you're impatient and/or want to contribute to my professional editing/formatting/self-publishing fund!

If, say, I was working on an updating spree for IMB, would it be better to start that tomorrow or Thursday?

@authorphoebemorris as soon as you are able to, but your story you post when you want to ;)

@authorphoebemorris I, personally, would want it as soon as possible.
            But from a sensible analytical perspective to help IMB perform its best in the Wattpad recommendation algorithm, shoot for the weekend.
