But I suppose you're right, there must be so many people who are good at observing who don't blog.<BR/><BR/>Thisthingison - I find your view genuinely interesting. <BR/><BR/>"Having observations doesn't make you a good observer". What do you mean by that? To me it seems that a good observer is someone who has observations, but they may not be very good at recording them.Rhythmic Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184142486414379805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23964814.post-51525051912399327722008-07-11T07:02:00.000+01:002008-07-11T07:02:00.000+01:00Not necessarily...Having observations doesn't make...Not necessarily...<BR/><BR/>Having observations doesn't make you a good observer. Many bloggers are a little too self-obsessed to make good observers. I count me in that number.<BR/><BR/>I have a friend who's a journalist, and he says that he views his work as allowing other people to tell their stories. That requires real observation, not just putting down your own thoughts.<BR/><BR/>CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23964814.post-73366837707187343292008-07-11T04:50:00.000+01:002008-07-11T04:50:00.000+01:00I don't know if it is possible to make a categoric...I don't know if it is possible to make a categorical statement about all bloggers but I have become a better observer since I started blogging. But I don't think being a blogger necessarily makes you a good observer because the best observers I know are people who probably don't even know what blogs are.Sachinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344051624083362490noreply@blogger.com
