Twitterific
is a compilation of all the writing links I shared the previous week.




The
links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by
writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 18,000 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.


Try “My WKB”--a way for you to list and sort articles, view your read
articles, and see your search history. Read more about it here: http://bit.ly/S9thqS .
The free My WKB page is here: http://bit.ly/PV8Ueb . And check out Hiveword to help you organize your story.
