Languishing

Sometimes you think you’ll do something, and in the initial excitement many side projects get started, only to languish and fade as the primary activity fizzles and slowly dies.

This site is one such side project. Once upon a time it was just a place to play, away from my primary site. At that time I was using Moveable Type for my “big” site, and wanted a place to play with WordPress, if only a WordPress.com hosted sandbox.

When I attempted to restart martial arts I thought to myself, here’s an excellent use for my WordPress blog; I can have a blog focused solely on martial arts and my experiences there. Unfortunately I discovered I have some lower back issues that really won’t do well in the type of physical martial art I am drawn toward. Discretion in this case is having a healthy back for years to come, or not.

So zanshin.wordpress.com has languished, grown stale and disused. I like having the domain. or rather the sub-domain. I’m not sure there is a topic or interest that I express on my other site that I can carve out and transplant here. I am more interested in process and language these day than ever before. Perhaps I can make those postings here and have a content-focused blog.

No promises, though.
