		<description>I never thought about what I write about -- b2b marcom -- as a &quot;beat,&quot; but you&#039;re right.

I started my blog because I was found I was writing too many newsletter articles in my head. It gives an outlet that I don&#039;t get with my e-newsletter or with client work.</description>

		<description>Read your comments with interest.  I found them true, true, true, and true.

I started a blog at the suggestion of my agent.  (My book is still a few years off.)  What surprised me was how many folks wanted to read of my genre.  Many of them have made comments which will help me as I develop my story.

I have a unique niche, medical grit lit, and I believe my blog is the first physician bluegrass fiction writer&#039;s weblog.  Hope you&#039;ll come visit.

Thanks again for your insight.  Your thoughts are very similar to the recommendations of my agent.
