Relaxed Friday 20

It’s Friday! Here’s the scoop on #CleanWIP Relaxed Fridays.

There’s no #CleanWIP theme on Fridays, but we still publish a fun author collaboration. Use the hashtag to share INTERESTING teases from a WIP or published work (book links encouraged on Fridays) or something else you believe our readers might love.

Q: Where did you get your idea for Vasilisa?
A: The idea came from a children’s picture book “Serpent Slayer: And Other Stories of Strong Women by Katrin Tchana” (with gorgeous art work by Trina Schart Hyman). A woman dresses as a man to rescue her husband, and to do so she passes three tests of strength, skill, and strategy. The picture book took on tall-tale quality as the woman injured her opponents in wrestling and shattered a tree by shooting it with an arrow. How did she become so strong? I wrote Vasilisa to answer that question.

Gray Heron, a novel about a bird, an older man, two kids, and the circle of life: it has been a rewarding experience to write and publish. It is an honor to have received this review from https://t.co/Iy5bKxURRi. #CleanWip pic.twitter.com/pnWJ9BbwIl

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 Though the magazine is no longer active, this site might still prove an enjoyable way to meet your next favorite author.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.
