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

The links are fed into the Writer’s
Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike
Fleming) which has over 18,000 free articles on writing-related topics. 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.
