Twitterific

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig

Twitterific links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming)
which has over 19,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search
engine for writers.

Sign up for our free newsletter for monthly writing tips and interviews with top
contributors to the WKB or like us on Facebook.

Mike Fleming worked with author and writing coach James
Scott Bell to offer an online, interactive, writing program to help make your
next novel great. It’s called “Knockout Novel” and you can learn more
about it at Knockout Novel.com. Plus, all the data is stored in your Hiveword account
for easy access. The program is due to launch tomorrow…Monday, April 8.
