Today’s #CleanWIP theme and collaboration is Coffee. [More info]
~ Scott R. Rezer ~
From my current WIP The Gambit Queen, an historical fantasy…
(Kaffé is Arabic for coffee.)
“Doubtful, my lord,” Al-Adil said, sitting back on his heels.
Yusuf made an offer of káffe and watched as his brother imbibed of the bitter drink. “The Ifranj seem content to sit outside the walls of Akka until the Last Day. A month ago, perhaps, we might have had some hope, but now… now they grow only bolder in their attacks.”
Use #CleanWIP with on-theme lines from a work-in-progress and your tweet might be included in a https://t.co/yUHUbxZp23 collaborative article for authors who lean clean and readers who love them. The #CleanWIP theme for Tuesday, September 29 is COFFEE. pic.twitter.com/ytxC41z8jz

Let’s peek inside Love’s Full Circle by Cherry Christensen:
~~~
“I’ll get a fresh pot of coffee brewing. Do you still take yours with cream and two sugar cubes?”
The white stoneware plates rattled in his hands. “I can’t believe you remembered. I would have thought you had forgotten everything about me, about us.”
Kayden shrugged and poured batter into a waffle iron as the coffee percolated. “Some things you can’t forget.”
“I have a buyer lined up, too.”

“Taft?”
“Yep.”
“Rats!”
Steve took an unnecessarily long sip from his mug, making sure the side that said, “Coffee is for Closers” was facing her. Then he squinted at her and sighed smugly. “Yep, yep, yep.”#CleanWIP
I’m #revising my current #WIP and just wrote this outline of a convo between my MMC (a prince) and his steward:

MMC: follow that woman and tell me where she’s staying
Steward: why?
MMC: just do it. We’ll talk later.
Steward: lol. Ok #WritingCommunity #amwriting #cleanWIP

His eyebrows went up. “They have specialty coffee here?” Picking up the mug, he blew across its top and took a sip of hot chocolate.

Confused, Harmony pushed her mug away from her. Doubts paraded through her mind, starting with wondering if he kept the #wordofwisdom.#cleanwip
My favorite mug for coffee #NationalCoffeeDay ☕️

To my fellow coffee drinkers, have another cup. 😄

Besides their affection for coffee, he knew two things about Elesol: that they were traitors to the crown, and that they had nearly torn themselves apart almost thirty years previously, which went to show how well their experiment in liberty had turned out.#CleanWIP

Anyone else feel like the National fill-in-the-blank Days are becoming excessive?

Not that I’m sad about National Coffee Day today.😉#NationalCoffeeDay #yesplease
The air smelled of coffee, wood, and brand-new book pages. A giant Christmas tree near the register glowed with twinkling white lights, and the space was bustling with happy shoppers in lightweight coats and scarves. #CleanWIP

#CleanWIP Ryan’s Reckless Bride: Ryan couldn’t boast enough about the pancakes, even claimed the coffee was just the way he liked it. She’d thanked him, but one sip told her he was being polite. Even with a generous dose of cream and sugar, she almost gagged and spewed it out.

#CleanWIP ~ As we began recording this story, I made it clear I wouldn’t allow exaggeration or fabrication. Somehow my assertion didn’t stop the others from trying to bribe me with gifts of chocolate, coffee, or wine. They do know my weaknesses. Especially my fiance, Charlie.
