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

The links are fed into the Writer’sKnowledge 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.

Try “My WKB”–a way for you to list and sort articles,
view your read articles, and see your search history. Read more about it here: http://bit.ly/S9thqS.
The free My WKB page is here: http://bit.ly/PV8Ueb. And check out Hiveword to
