Twitterific Writing Links
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig
A weekly roundup of the best writing links from around the web.
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.
I’m going to take a short summer blog break and will go dark until July 10th, when I’ll return with an extended Twitterific. :) Early wishes for a Happy Independence Day for my blog readers in the States.
