Twitterific Writing Links

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig

Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 45,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.

In observance of Memorial Day, I won’t be posting tomorrow, but I’ll be back with a post on Friday.  Enjoy your weekend!
