Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 30,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.
I’ll be stepping away from the blog tomorrow to observe Memorial Day and will be back on Friday. Thanks!

7 Writers Who Had Boring Day Jobs: http://ow.ly/ML1Xq @mshannabrooks
Enjoy your day away! I have a tour stop, so I’ll be posting tomorrow. But I will slip off to see a movie at some point.
Alex–Hope you’ll enjoy! Sounds like a fun day. :)
These are terrific links as ever, Elizabeth. I love the one about where and when to talk about one’s writing. That balance between marketing wisely and not being obnoxious about trying to sell one’s books is delicate…
Margot–It is, indeed! Hope you’re having a good weekend, Margot.
Thanks for the mentions, Elizabeth. You rock! I’ve been meaning to tell you how much I love Writer’s Knowledge Base. I’ve had the badge on my site for quite some time, but kept forgetting to use it. Now, I’m hooked. It’s such a useful resource I’d like to also add the link to my resource page. Do you have a problem with that? I’ll keep the badge as well, but I think some are missing out on this incredible, searchable wealth of information, and I’d like to give it the attention it deserves, with credit to you of course.
Hope you’re enjoying your holiday weekend!
Sue–Oh thanks! That would be wonderful…please feel free to add it. Mike Fleming did a great job putting that site together and I’m so glad it’s been helpful.
Busy weekend so far! Lots of year-end activities for the kids. But hoping tomorrow will be a quieter day! Enjoy your Memorial Day. :)
Using a free image is better than getting sued for using someone’s photo you found on the Internet.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day.
Diane–Much better! And same to you. :)
With summer slow down (summer vacation) ahead, I’m saving your Twitterific links! You are awesome for helping other writers.
Thanks, Teresa! Yay for summer vacation!
