This long, lovely German word means an attempted improvement that only makes things worse.
Well, that is exactly the perfect word for how I feel about this newfangled WordPress update. I am not a computer whizz-far from it.
I am quite irritated by it, in fact. So much so that I have not posted in months.
Is it just me? I want to go back to the old way. I seriously am confused by it. I don’t need the block editor. Truly I don’t. I simply want to write some of my ideas and I want to share with you all my recent self-publishing on Amazon.
I am not even sure if this will post right.
Please let me know.
WordPress, please give up the option to use the traditional format.
I am seriously considering not continuing on Word press.
Thank you.

I am a published poet and short story writer. I have been published in SNHU's the penmen review. https://penmenreview.com/author/jenny-andrews is the link where you can find my poetry and a short story. Currently, I am writing a collection of short stories, and a collection of poetry. I am trying my hand at writing a novel. Well, not a novel, actually. Make that two novels. My passion is writing. My inspiration is Franz Krafka because he managed to see the absurdity of life. Life is all about perspective and who is telling the story. We all see this life through the lens of our experiences. Literature should inspire us to think, to analyze, and to get lost in unfamiliar worlds in which we learn something new about this human existence. It is my hope that my writing challenges the reader to think, and to see a different perspective, as well as be entertained. My faith in Jesus strengthens me and gives me the courage to survive the twists and turns of this life. My faith influences a lot of my writing in that goodness always triumphs over evil, in that love conquers all. I hope you enjoy reading my blog.

Schlimmbesserung, yes, a wonderful word in a lighter sense, but I completely agree with your post.

Thanks, Nick. I am just very irritated. All I wanted to do was write, not have to have a degree in technical writing.

Not at all. I’ve seen lots of comments on this, with the same view. Dinosaur?! Far from it 😊

Thanks, Nick. I feel better already. With this year the way it has been, I just thought that this is just one more thing that has gone wrong. I feel less alone now. Have a great evening. Thanks again for the encouragement.

You’re very welcome ☺️ I’m sorry that it’s been tough. You aren’t alone, you’re appreciated I’m sure and you’ll be doing brilliantly, so keep on doing what you do. If others get it wrong (including WordPress) then that’s their problem, not yours.
