Hello my loves,
          
          On Wednesday evening, I published Chapter Fifty-Three. If you haven’t read it yet, it’s there waiting for you. It’s a chapter I’ve been especially excited to share. If you have any thoughts, feelings, or reactions, I would love to hear them.
          
          I also wanted to share something that isn’t mine.
          
          Rupi Kaur was one of the first modern writers who made me feel, when I was a teenager, that writing was for me too.
          
          Almost all of you only know me through Project Leclerc, but I actually write far beyond what I publish here. Poetry, short prose, other genres, one-minute short stories… writing has always been my first language, even when it usually isn’t in English. I’ve even had the chance to publish some of my work in a book before (not in English), which still feels strange to say out loud. 
          
          I came across this poem again last night, and I couldn’t help but think of Celeste. It feels like something that would resonate with her, something she might never say out loud, but would understand completely.
          
          why am i always running in circles
          between wanting you to want me
          and when you want me
          deciding it is too emotionally naked
          for me to live with
          why do i make loving me so difficult
          as if you should never have to witness
          the ghosts i have tucked under my breast
          i used to be more open
          when it came to matters like this my love
          - if only we’d met when i was that willing
          
          There is something about the self-protection in it. The mourning for a version of oneself that once existed more freely. I think some of you will understand why it stayed with me.
          
          Thank you for being here.

@TazminGirl 
            What a beautifully thoughtful note. Thank you for sharing how much this story means to you. I’m genuinely touched by your patience to give your words the care they deserve.
            Happy early birthday to you, angel! And what a gift you’re giving me by choosing to spend this special day with my chapter. I’m grateful for your enthusiasm. I really hope you like what you read tomorrow. 
            Kisses,
            F.

@womanonthehill Oh babe, I’ve been aching to read the latest chapter, but I haven’t had the heart to rush it. After work, sleep claims me almost instantly, and I hate the thought of meeting your words half-awake. Your story deserves more than tired eyes. I want to savor it — to feel every syllable, every ache, every breath between the lines. Tomorrow’s my birthday, and I want to spend it with your words. Reading your chapter feels like unwrapping a piece of your heart — and I can’t think of a more intimate gift than that.

Hey everyone 
          
          I wanted to give you a heads up that the next chapter of Project Leclerc will be up tomorrow evening (CET).
          
          It’s a longer one, and one I’ve been waiting to share with you, and I’m especially curious to see how you’ll feel about.
          
          Thank you, always, for your patience, your presence, and the care you give this story. It means more than I can properly put into words.
          
          See you tomorrow evening.

Hi everyone :)
          
          I wanted to let you know that Project Leclerc needs a small change in pace.
          
          This isn’t a break, and the story is absolutely continuing. However, I can’t keep up with weekly updates anymore. I don’t want to promise something I won’t consistently be able to deliver, and I definitely don’t want to force myself into a schedule that could eventually harm the quality of the book.
          
          There’s a lot going on in my personal life right now, and I need a little more flexibility. Updates will still happen, just not on a fixed weekly schedule for the time being.
          
          That also means there won’t be a chapter this Friday at 5 pm as usual. I’ll post the next update as soon as I can, and I’ll keep you informed.
          
          Thank you for your patience and for caring about this story the way you do. I’d rather take my time and give you the best version of it than rush something that deserves more care.

@krystenritterswife Good luck with the semester! Take your time reading and maybe reward yourself with a chapter from time to time, haha. The story is not going anywhere and academia always comes first. Are you a bachelor's student? :)
