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 Twitter_buttonsearch engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 16,000 free articles on writing-related topics. Sign up for our free newsletter for monthly writing tips and interviews with top contributors to the WKB or like us on Facebook.

It’s looking like tomorrow is going to be a catch-up day for me, so I’ll be back to posting on my usual schedule on Wednesday. Hope everyone will have a great start to their week!

    Slow blogging will help your career? Does that refer to posting, reading, or typing? Because I’m rather slow at most of those…
