		I was thinking of starting a mailing list but I just can't figure out what will be my niche. Do you have a mailing list? how did you figured out what is your thing? Can I just start a list and write about general things that interests me? I suppose it'll be hard to grow that way. what's your advice?

The book by David Epstein: “Range - Why generalists triumph in a specialized world” might be an interesting read for you.

Thanks. I have it in my list but haven't got to read it yet. Will start after the current one.
