Twitterific

Terry3_thumb[1]Here are writing links that I’ve posted to Twitter for the past week.

If you’re looking for a particular topic, just plug in your keyword into the search box at the top left-hand corner of the blog (on the black header right above my blog name…next to the Blogger symbol…the small search window is next to the magnifying glass) and the roundup with your subject will come up. To narrow your search down on the page, do a CTRL+F, type your subject, and hit enter.

I’m also archiving these posts in what I hope is an easily searchable format—if you look at the Twitterific tabs under the blog’s heading, I’m posting the links there, too.

    This is a great resource for writers. Thank you so much.

  10. CarsonJanuary 18, 2011

    Yeah, I saw some of your tweets last week. The most useful link for me was in your January 11 tweet about vocabulary improvement. I’ve been looking for additional resources to complement my son’s learning with WordSmart. Complaints were nothing compared to the volume of praises I’ve read about the software, so I decided to purchase it despite the rumor about a WordSmart scam. I, for one, can belie that because I’ve got no issues with it.

    Anyway, I hope you continue providing us with these useful links. Bravo!
