All those years of marriage and now, the preacher tried to comfort Jim at Linda’s funeral. “Jim, remember the time you criticized Linda’s cooking?”
Jim smiled, “Reverend, I’ve wished a thousand times I hadn’t complained about her one and only Shake-&-Bake, dinner.” #CleanWip

The scents of oranges and baked bread—along with faint notes of the sweet grass hay that was stored here during her childhood—greeted her as she opened the door to her loft home, effectively banishing any lingering stress. She stepped out of her shoes…#CleanWIP #ACountryMile

#CleanWIP “Your delicious braided bread will ever be remembered in the history of our festival.” He searched through one of the baskets on the table and pulled out a blue and green linen scarf. “I realize this has nothing to do with baking, except to keep your hair out of it.”

“Prudence, you are a special lady. I never thought you would consider me.” He cleared his throat. “And you make a most delicious peach cobbler.”

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 Though the magazine is no longer active, this site might still prove an enjoyable way to meet your next favorite author.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