Twitterific is a compilation of
all the writing links I shared the previous week.

The links are fed into the Writer’sKnowledge 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.

Try “My WKB”–a way for you to
list and sort articles, view your read articles, and see your search history.
Read more about it here: http://bit.ly/S9thqS.
The free My WKB page is here: http://bit.ly/PV8Ueb.
