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.
Hope everyone has enjoyed their holidays so far. I know I said I wouldn’t be blogging, but I couldn’t resist posting the last Twitterific for 2014. See you again in 2015.
