Twitterific Writing Links

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig

Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engineBlog (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 30,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.

Hope everyone enjoys their holidays! I’m going to return two weeks from today with an exceptionally long Twitterific, my first for 2016. :)

    Naughty and nice science fiction and fantasy books, huh?
    M. Night Shyamalan’s screenwriting tips should have only one tip – don’t write movies like he does.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 20, 2015

      Alex–Ha! Good point about Shyamalan. :)

  2. Margot KinbergDecember 20, 2015

    This is great, as ever, Elizabeth! I like it that there are so many on different aspects of tapping creativity and getting those proverbial juices flowing. I think writers need to remember to do that.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 20, 2015

      Margot–I think it’s great to focus on ways to stay creative. :) Hope you have a nice week!

  3. L. Diane WolfeDecember 20, 2015
