Twitterific

Once again, I’m posting writing links that I previously posted to Twitter.

The idea of doing this isn’t to overwhelm anyone. But I thought that if I kept track of these writing links in a searchable database (you can search my blog on the top left of the page) then we can access some of these helpful links by topic, when we need to.
