Twitterific

by Elizabeth S. Craig,
@elizabethscraig





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



The links are fed into the Writer’sKnowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike
Fleming) which has over 19,000 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.



I'm also on the Wordpreneur blog today, talking about how I started self-publishing and became a hybrid writer.  Hope you'll pop by.
