Everything bad you heard about WordPress is true,
And despite the software fork of it,

This thing has been fucking frustrating.

This cobbled together thing is still mine
So I forgo sleep, peace, creativity
Trying every forum post and whim,
With Support Desk in my inbox
More than my loved ones

I do all this
Because I still want it
And I am a stubborn creature of habit

But this creature should be writing
Instead of tearing my hair out
Because my newsletter has been broken for months!
I should be doing #NaPoWriMo
Not restarting MySQL for the umpteenth time

I can’t figure this out
I don’t have time for this

I am
This close to
declaring "FUCK IT" and
Moving to
Something different
Despite what I’ve said

But gotdamn
I don’t care about more monetization
I don’t want to turn my audience
Into a fucking business

I just want people to visit, subscribe, or RSS as they please
FOR FREE
I just want to write
LEAVING THE SERVER WRANGLING TO THE PROFESSIONALS

Today, I will walk away
And do fun things
(after making backups)
I will write still, and do my homework

Next week,
The software may change abruptly
And you will see me messily
Put things back together
In a live environment.
Good thing I’m NOT a professional.
I just wish I was better at this sort of thing.
