Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 50,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.
Have you visited the WKB lately? Check out the new redesign where you can browse by category, and sign up for free writing articles, on topics you choose, delivered to your email inbox! Sign up for the Hiveword newsletter here.
I’ll be taking a summer blog break starting tomorrow and ending with another Twitterific on Sunday, July 7. Hope you have a good next couple of weeks!

The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Hey, there’s Tyrean’s IWSG post – thanks!
Another great post from the IWSG!
Hope you enjoy your summer break, Elizabeth. Thanks, as ever, for the links; lots to like, here. I’m especially drawn to the ‘how to say no,’ article. I think it’s wise to set priorities and respect them, and not to push ourselves too hard.
It’s hard to do, but can make a big difference in terms of our free time. Thanks for coming by!
Thanks for sharing all the great links. And have a great break, Elizabeth. I’m taking some breaks this summer too.
It’s good to have time to refill the well, isn’t it? And thanks!
Thank you again for letting me visit your blog on Friday.
Thanks so much for the great post and good reminder about the importance of images!
Thanks for the links – going to check out the self-pub ones first! :)
Enjoy your break!
