Rail – CleanWIP Magazine

Today’s #CleanWIP theme and collaborative article is Rail. [More info]

“Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.” ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

tl; dr: #CleanWIP theme for Tuesday, December 3 is RAIL (any type of rail or perhaps trains and such with assumed rails)
Long version: We’re playing hashtag games to find authors who prefer the clean end of the spectrum and highlight their teasers for readers who love them. pic.twitter.com/zlw06l7Ico

#CleanWIP “Miss Hammons, I hope your trip was tolerable. Riding the rails can be uncomfortable. The train’s rocking sometimes makes you wonder if it wil tip over.”
“That didn’t bother me as much as the soot blowing through the window, on my clothes. But, it couldn’t be helped. “

“I feel so helpless, sitting here when I should be there, at Gertuk with Jartz.” He shot a look at Sparks, wishing he had a saddle dragon so he could just fly there.Instead they would have to walk to Gertuk, charter a boat, then travel another day by rail.#CleanWIP #DragonSparks

In the locker room, before the game, Coach ranted and raved about the 3rd rail of football. We looked at each other; we didn’t have a clue. We ran out on the field to discover this wasn’t a “Meet &. Greet.” We were run out of town by the Buffalo Steamrollers. #CleanWip

Avery loved riding the train to work.

There was something cinematic about the way the fluorescent lights flickered, and the doors whooshed open, and the people crowded in, and everyone swayed in unison as the car rocked on the rails. #CleanWIP

The CleanWIP Experience

For a time, CleanWIP Magazine worked closely with published authors and writers who are aspiring to be published as well as other creative people such as artists, poets, bloggers, and songwriters in our CleanWIP collaboration group for authors (et al) and via the #CleanWIP hashtag to bring readers interesting sneak peeks into their works-in-progress and published books plus full-featured articles, personal reflections on the thoughts and struggles from a rough draft to a published work, and special collaborations on various topics. Though the magazine is no longer active, this site might still prove an enjoyable way to meet your next favorite author.

We still encourage writers who market their work as clean to use the #CleanWIP hashtag on any social platform to share sneak peeks from yet-to-be-published works. We also encourage use of the hashtag for a single relevant release day announcement. On Fridays, we relax the structure even further and encourage using #CleanWIP to share relevant news, interesting teases from a work-in-progress or published work (purchase links encouraged on Fridays), or something else our readers might love. Actual use of the hashtag is not within our control and even on this site we will sometimes share #CleanWIP content that doesn’t strictly meet these guidelines.
