Dear Blogger,
You win. I quit.
This has all been a very wonderful experience but right now it just makes me miserable to see my posting window because i know i’ve lost all of my past to you and your stupid machines. Yes, i still have it, and i backed it up, but i hate this feeling of impermance. I am frustrated.
This is an inopportune time for me to stop, since i have more people paying attention to me than ever have before, but i refuse to attach misery to writing … it defeats the entire purpose for me. I am a perfectionist. I re-edit posts from December for one-letter spelling errors. Of course, i can’t do that now because i can’t publish to my December archive, or any other one for that matter. But, that is only part of the problem.
Maybe i will come back tomorrow. I hope i will come back tomorrow. In the meantime, have fun with your thousands of new users every month and your totally free blogspot. I suppose i’m just realizing that nothing free is ever worth the price; or maybe it’s worth exactly the price i’m paying. Either way, my offer stands: i’d love to purchase a pro account at any point when you offer one.
I apologize to my readers for all of this drama; sometimes life and the physical act of posting just eclipses what i have to say. I still love writing for you, and i am not quitting that – i just need a new venue. In the meantime, you can find me at Repulsed and CorLog. However, the latter is posted with Blogger, so don’t get too attached :)
all my love,
-peter
