Today’s #CleanWIP theme and collaborative article is Finish. [More info]

“There is nothing so fatal to character as half finished tasks.” ~ David Lloyd George

Even after I began to mention to a few close friends and family members that I was writing a book, I was not entirely sure I could finish it. ~ Earl Chinnici

Use CleanWIP Magazine’s #CleanWIP hashtag with lines from a work-in-progress and your tweet might be included in a https://t.co/a8se3sed2W collaborative article for authors who lean ‘clean’ and readers who love them. The #CleanWIP theme for Thursday, October 17 is FINISH. pic.twitter.com/dsz06oceYj

#CleanWIP How did Clint's ma know so much about saloons? Emily waited for her to finish speaking. But all she said was, "Never you mind. Best to let sleepin' dogs lie."

NaNo starts Nov. 1st.

So I have 17 days to finish edits on Made in Hollywood & send it back to the publisher, finish an R&R for another publisher & outline a small group curriculum I’m writing for my church.

It had to be a seagull-chicken sandwich, no way I could finish it. I tossed it and headed to clear security. The process went slower than usual; the entire terminal seemed on edge. I remained calm; a puddle- jumper flight and I’d be back in my little bungalow. #CleanWip

“Oh, wow. I wish I could, but I have, um, a date.” Maddie’s voice got smaller as she finished her sentence.
Her mom’s face lit up. “Oh? Who with?”
“Just a guy. You don’t need all the gory details.”
“I don’t need them, no. But I wish you felt like you could tell me.” #CleanWIP

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 Though the magazine is no longer active, this site might still prove an enjoyable way to meet your next favorite author.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