A blank page

I’m staring at this new WordPress installation.
But something is different.

The previous temptation to add plugins has gone.
I’ve barely looked at themes.
I don’t give a shit about SEO.

I’m not building a brand.
Or building a community.
Or gaming big tech’s algorithms.

I’m free to do what I want here.

That’s it — free.

I’ll make it prettier, faster, and secure.

But beyond legal and privacy concerns, only needing to please myself is utterly liberating.

But there is no “what now?” feeling. I have focus.

I need to write.

And writing doesn’t need anything except a blank page.
