Twitterific

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig




Twitterific links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming)
which has over 19,000 free articles on writing related topics. It's the search
engine for writers.



Sign up for our free newsletter for monthly writing tips and interviews with top
contributors to the WKB or like us on Facebook.



Mike Fleming is working with author and writing coach
James Scott Bell to offer an online, interactive, writing program to help make
your next novel great. It's called "Knockout Novel" and you can learn
more about it at Knockout Novel.com. Plus, all the data is stored in your Hiveword account
for easy access.  The program is due to launch in early-April.



Happy Easter to all
who celebrate!
