Today I woke up way too early.

4:00 am. Ish.

Laid in bed trying to go back to sleep.

​

Got up at 5:54 and started trying to fix my website.

​

Is that crazy? Sounds psycho when I type it out…

Oh well, it’s the truth.

The Website Bio Refresh Party I hosted last Friday was great but

most people (including me) had tech difficulties and couldn’t edit their site at all!

Gah!

​

We got a lot of brainstorming, writing, and prep work done,

so it wasn’t a waste of time at all,

but that definitely lit a fire under me to fix my website.

​

Well, the good news is that this morning,

I figured HOW to fix my main website,

this site you are looking at right now.​

(It was an anti-spam plugin causing the trouble.)

​

But here is the bad news,

before I even got a chance to finish my project,

i.e. edit the bio on my website sofiawren.com

​
​HOUSTON, we have a problem.

​

I realized that my other, older site that I created in 2012

for my massage therapy business

was broken and wouldn’t even load.

​

I sighed deeply. I told myself it was okay.

I’m not a massage therapist anymore anyway for reasons.

​

But I did a quick fix.

A redirect.

Now anyone who visits over there will just get redirected automatically to HERE.

​

But the completionist in me is still grumbling that it’s not enough.

I still really want that busted site to get fixed for real at some point.

​

UGH!

So I fixed a problem…and then discovered I had another.

​

YOU KNOW THAT’S LIFE I GUESS.

​

I guess the site that actually matters to me right now works….so it’s a win.

Trying to muster up some enthusiasm about that

but it’s not coming. Maybe I’m too tired.

​

It just feels WEIRD and unsatisfying.

​

Anyway I am sharing because I maintain that

being dissatisfied with your website is a part of the human condition.

​

(Unless you don’t have a website and don’t want one…

If so, then you can put your feet up and relax!)

​

​

After 20+ years of having my own sites and

10 years of talking to entrepreneurs and writers, I have found that

the people who are happy with their website/web presence are the exception, not the rule.

​

​

Some people don’t have a site but DO want one, so they are dissatisfied with not having one.

Most people with a site could bend your ear with some groans about the state of it.

​

There’s always another thing you could do with it.

There’s ALWAYS some weird hanging-chad type of feeling.

​

Do you know what I am talking about?!

​

And achieving perfection is either

complicated,

a hassle, or

not a priority

which is why it gathers dust.

​

I get that, and that could be perfectly fine,

but every so often you just want your site to work and make you feel good.

​

You just want to share it and have it be pretty and shiny.

​

AND sometimes a totally busted site (like mine) comes

because you never really deal with the problem for a very long time…

​

And maybe at that point, it’s a message to say,

“Girl, maybe it’s time to scrap that old site you’ve outgrown and just start fresh?”

​

I dunno about you but that’s what’s running through my mind right now.

​

​

Anyway, long story short:

If you’re feeling a lack of satisfaction around your website, I hear you!!!!

And if you don’t care about your site or having a site at all, that’s cool.

​

But if you do care about starting a site or changing your site this summer,

so that the words and images really express you & attract clients

​

or you want to start or spice up a different writing project right now…

​

I’m happy to help!
