Twitterific Writing Links

Bluebird with beak open


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.


Happy Holidays! I will be taking a blog break until I return two weeks from today for an especially long Twitterific that will include my top shared links for 2016.  :)
