Interesting weblogs: Musings of a Literary Doctor

This is an interesting weblog found by Jan which as well as its content is a good example of how a writer can set themself up online quite easily and find a voice and a platform through blogspot.

As many of you know The weblog world has been growing really exponentially and there are tens of thousands of good ones out there, let alone the hundreds of thousands of derelict ones. I think there are two really good reasons for developing writers to keep a weblog - first is it is a place for people to find a platform and readers - the second is they really get writers in the habit of dropping out copy regularly - which I think is an essential discipline for people who havent got it.

From Dr Tusitala's profile....

Musings of a Literary Doctor: "Dr Tusitala is a forty-six year old writer who lives with his wife in Lincolnshire and North Yorkshire. His musical interests include playing the piano, alto & tenor saxophones and classical guitar. He has had several short stories, non-fiction and 'filler' articles published and has contributed to a film script. However, despite having won a Book Festival Prize in 2005 for a work of fiction, greater public success has so far eluded him. He has written several (unpublished) poems and is currently working on his first novel. Meanwhile, he relies on the practise of medicine to keep the garret warm and to ensure good supplies of printer ink and malt whisky. Dr Tusitala is a pseudonym. "
