The Body Shop, Chapter 16 – “Mary Swearington,” is Online!

Hey, everyone! It’s a new week so we have a new chapter, once that introduces one of my personal favorite (minor) characters. She was a lot more offensive in the previous drafts and it was suggested I tone her down a bit so I have…though she’s probably still pretty offensive.

I’m still revising the final few chapters for the end of May and they are shaping up nicely. By the time the publication date rolls around, they should be pretty refined. Those chapters will likely see the most revisions of all the chapters because of the additional scenes and revisions that come along with that to make everything fit together.

I’ve stopped advertising on Facebook because of their arbitrary community standards and lack of appeal process, over a post that was a quote from a television show. So instead of lying back and taking it, while giving them my money, I deleted my ad. As a result, there haven’t been as many visitors but I knew that this project wasn’t for everyone and now, people who are truly interested will stop by for a read instead of a bunch of browsers clicking on an ad. So the point of all that was to say that if you like what you are reading, share the link, tell a friend, leave a tip in the tip jar…there are many ways to support and most of them cost much less than an advertising budget.

I think that’s all for this week. Everyone stay safe out there and if you need an escape from reality, swing on through! I got you covered.
