Kintrye had been bombarded by rumors circulating around the capital regarding the increasingly reclusive monarch. Just one month before, in an unprecedented move, King Lantaye had sent away all six of his wives to country estates far away from the capital. #cleanwip #wip

He made an announcement: they planned to sell the home they had lived in for sixty years, buy an RV, and travel around the country.

His wife made a counter-announcement: they would do no such thing. She would not live out the rest of her days as a nomad. #CleanWIP

#CleanWIP Half-Price Bride: Roy flipped the envelope. “Abilene, Texas? Em’ly, that’s halfway across the country! I don’t know if I can let you go. Anyway, how do you plan on gettin’ there, if I do?”
“What do you mean, if you let her go?” Louise groused. Your sister’s a grown-up.

“I do say, your stay out in the country air has done you wonders. You’re as lovely as a country flower now.” Ivan said.

“Thanks.” She averted her gaze & blushed.

“Vanya, you scoundrel. You’re embarrassing her.”

Gliding with ease, he drifts back to the sea.
He lands with a splash and a soft little “squee!”
The sea urchins waft to the surface, in shock.

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 Though the magazine is no longer active, this site might still prove an enjoyable way to meet your next favorite author.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