The need to find answer meant I had to improve my knowledge of chemistry, a dry (or wet) subject in the best of times. Yet Geology is all about chemistry, and once I had a question, I needed chemistry to answer that question. Science is often so stark, we journey into the unknown very quickly. In business there is less unexplored territory. Yet, each of us has questions that drive our passions. What interests me in reading blogs are the answers to those questions, but also learning about the motivations and delights people experience from taking the journey. Oh, plus we make a profit too. Not something you do often in geology, except when mining Kimberlite. ;-) A few years ago, I took a number of classes in geology, and became so interested in the subject I even started a research project.

I like that. I think that the flexibility of blogs sometimes makes it hard to decide what exactly your focus is, since theoretically you can write about anything. But I agree - not all writing needs an audience of more than one. “An ongoing story with facts and subjectivity”. I like that.

Keep the thoughts flowing, even if its just a few paragraphs, writing just for yourself sometimes is a good idea. I've been thinking that blogging is a little like new journalism, an ongoing story with facts and subjectivity.
