Once upon a Trick-or-Treat. Click this link to enjoy a hilarious Halloween adventure via Smart Girls Read Romance. A gorilla mask and a scary old man made this night memorable.

The things we do #online these days are amazing. We zoom in and do virtually anything. To say that it is effective is being debated in the court of public opinion. In my case, the jury has been out way too long. Suddenly there is a computer glitch, and I’m left hanging. #vss365

I always write and only occasionally tweet. But here’s to the first of weekly writing tweets (until I get so lost in writing again that I don’t want to come up for social air).

CleanWIP Magazine first tweeted October 23, 2019, but not before we had already published a couple *Special Edition* articles, including this gem by Irene Onorato (@IreneOnorato ) about marking the fabric of time. https://t.co/mEqhMFsw4w #amReading #amWriting #Tbt #TBThursday pic.twitter.com/m8Q2LeIpHV

This structure is ENORMOUS. People were zip lining down to the parking lot. Too cool 🙂 pic.twitter.com/cC2qtwIfhP

Well, I melted of course and started fumbling words as if I was twelve.
Charlie fumbled more than his share also as we discussed the vehicle, college, karate, food, relationships, life, and the upcoming rodeo. We were still talking when Dave and Lisa returned… #CleanWIP #WIP

By Earl Chinnici

Have you ever wondered how transformed your life could be if one small detail of your past had happened a little differently? It seems everyone occasionally entertains such thoughts. I suppose it is human nature. And isn’t it funny that we often blindly envision how life could be better, not considering how it could be worse? Sometimes, however, our eyes are forced wide open—even if only for a moment. What you are about to read is my unadulterated recollection of one such time. Where I was going I cannot recall, but the trip was unforgettable.

Checking my watch to verify I was running late, I rushed to grab my keys from a hook on the wall just inside the front door of my home. Apparently, I was in too much of a hurry. I fumbled and gravity took over. “ Great, ” I thought, “what’s two seconds when I’m already running late?” I knelt to retrieve the keys then persevered, locking the door behind me. The next six and a half miles of my journey were utterly uneventful.

“Please turn green,” I said aloud as I approached the first of two busy intersections between my home and my destination. Nearly stopping about fifteen feet short of the crosswalk, I was glad to see the traffic signal mercifully comply. As I accelerated and started through the intersection, a four-door sedan from days gone by passed immediately in front of me like a whirlwind, missing my car by mere inches. Shocked and trembling, I stared at the green light I had abruptly stopped under as my mind replayed the dropped keys and the close encounter. A loud and persistent horn soon sounded behind me, urging me to get it in gear. Wiser and more cautiously, I continued along my path. — Life isn’t a race, you see. You don’t need to be in a hurry to cross the finish line.

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.
