Hey there, folks! Got some reviews in if you want to take a look at the main page for The Body Shop for validation (or a counterargument, if you need one). I have one chapter to revise before I take care of the last three chapters that consist of the story’s “ending.” Most of it has already been written and revised but I am expanding it by at least a few thousand words total and will be posted for your reading enjoyment in due course.
I also got caught up in a Facebook “community standards” issue and although I won my “appeal” (in which defending statements aren’t allowed) and received a warning for a harmless quote I posted on a personal page, I’ve decided to start using Facebook less, as well as pull my ads from the site.
I take a certain amount of pride in not conforming to “community standards.” I’ve been through too much over 50 years to care what anyone thinks of me or what I do. And I’m not going to have my innocuous speech monitored and misconstrued by a website that only exists because we keep showing up to feed it our data.
So for now, catch updates on my other social media or my website! I think that’s all for now. If you like what you’re reading, spreading the word would be very kind of you. I’d like to make this more than a labor of love but given the current environment, I’m happy just being read at this point. Time gets more important as I get older because there is less and less of it to waste. Take care out there!
