Twitterific

by Elizabeth S. Craig,
@elizabethscraig

Twitterific is a compilation of all the writing links I
shared the previous week.

The links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base
search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which
has over 19,000 free articles on writing-related topics. It’s the search engine
for writers.

Sign up for our free newsletter for monthly writing tips and interviews with top
contributors to the WKB or like us on Facebook.

Mike Fleming is working with author and writing coach
James Scott Bell to offer an online, interactive, writing program to help make
your next novel great. It’s called “Knockout Novel” and you can learn
more about it at KnockoutNovel.com. Plus, all the data is stored in your Hiveword account for
easy access.
