He leaned toward her, and in a low voice, he said, “Leave it be.”

“But she–”

“It will keep. You all can talk it out when you’re both calmer.”

“I have nothin’ to say to her,” said Auntie Hazel, before storming out of the room, her skirt swishing as she went. #CleanWIP

#CleanWIP (theme CALM)

#CleanWIP HALF-PRICE BRIDE
Emily's hands shook, clasped together in her lap. Clemons made her nervous. Why had the man called her Evelyn?

Clint patted her arm. “Calm down, Miss Hammons. We left Clemons a mile back.”

Emily exhaled slowly. “Thank you for intervening, Clint."

The CleanWIP Experience

We work closely with published authors and writers who are aspiring to be published as well as other creative people such as artists, poets, and songwriters in our CleanWIP Facebook group for authors (et al) and via the #CleanWIP hashtag game to bring readers interesting sneak peeks into their works-in-progress 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.

We encourage authors to use the #CleanWIP hashtag to share sneak peeks related to the day’s theme from unpublished works. This helps us provide content our readers love and expect. For the same reason, 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.
