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’m going to take a short summer blog break and will go dark until July 12th, when I’ll return with an extended Twitterific. :) Early wishes for a Happy Independence Day for my blog readers in the States.

Hi Elizabeth – enjoy the fortnight … and thanks for all you do for us .. keeping us informed and up to date … cheers Hilary
Thanks, Hilary! :)
I need the one on finding one’s audience on Twitter. Trying to build up my following there.
Alex–I’m sure you’ll do a great job there! I like Twitter, although I’m a lurker there.
Enjoy your time off, Elizabeth, and thank you for the excellent Twitterific links! There are so many I want to dive into.
Sue–Thanks for coming by!
Have a good time off, Elizabeth.
I periodically “detox” from the internet and it’s so helpful.
I love diving into these links, Elizabeth. I noticed one this time on Scrivener, something I’ve not (yet) tried. But people who have tell me they love it. Wonder if I’m missing something…
Hi Elizabeth. Have a great time off and thanks for including us amongst these excellent articles on writing!
