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 39,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.

Hope all of my American readers have a Happy Thanksgiving this week! I’ll be taking the week off from posting in observance of the holiday, and will be back next Sunday.
