Eight days later...
Eight equals the amount of days it took me to literally blow 50USD and move my site [back] into Substack. And yes, I've been walking in between the two [Ghost and Substack] for years by now.
Anyhow, eight were the amount of days it took for me to give up on Substack, and come back to my homey and cosy platform that is Ghost.
So why move one might wonder? It all came down to money. Cause I am no longer interested in self hosting any kind of site. I used to self host and let me tell you this. Nothing good ever comes out of it except for a lot of stress and head aches.
But when choosing to not self host one also chooses a path that may or may not cost money. And in an aim to save money I thought it was a great idea to move my writing into Substack. Just to realise moving into such a bad, BAD editor is exactly the opposite of getting creative.
Cause a bad writing experience is as equally bad as bad reading experience. If one doesn't feel it it won't happen.
And the whole idea of me having this site is actually to write.
Cause I love to write, always did, always will.
But if it gets too complicated and it gets time consuming just to enter a paragraph, a photo, a gallery or a podcast even. Then all the fun is gone and instead of joy I creates stress. The one thing I am trying to get rid of by writing.
So here I am. Writing into the void, or maybe not. I am not sure. Sometimes it feels that is exactly what I'm doing. But in the end of the day I don't write to go viral. I write to release pain, stress and whatever is bothering me.
