Twitterific Writing Links by @elizabethscraig Elizabeth Spann Craig

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig

A weekly roundup of the best writing links from around the web.

Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (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.

It’s good to be back!  Hope everyone had a good couple of weeks.  Here’s an extended Twitterific.  :)

    That’s the longest list yet.

    Welcome home. I hope your family didn’t hit the NC beaches this past week. Wow, was it busy and hot. (I had a signing at Topsail Island on Friday and it was almost 100 degrees.)

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJuly 10, 2016

      Diane–Thanks! No, no beaches this year yet. The kids have had kind of a complicated summer schedule for us to get away. No breeze on Topsail? The beach is so, so humid in July with no breeze! Bet you spent lots of time in the ocean. :)

  4. BridgetJuly 12, 2016
