Twitterific Writing Links

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig

Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 30,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.

Hope everyone has had a nice last couple of weeks.  I’ve enjoyed a great vacation with my family and am now getting back into the swing of things again. :)  This edition of Twitterific should include all the tweets I’d scheduled when I was gone.  Hootsuite didn’t seem to want to cough up such a large number of links, but this is my manual reconstruction of what was scheduled.  Thanks!
