Lift off! — STS064-S-051 (9 Sept. 1994) — With a crew of six NASA astronauts aboard, the space shuttle Discovery heads for its nineteenth Earth-orbital mission. Launch was delayed because of weather, but all systems were “go,” and the spacecraft left the launch pad at 6:23 p.m. (EDT) on Sept. 9, 1994. Onboard were astronauts Richard N. Richards, L. Blaine Hammond, Carl J. Meade, Mark C. Lee, Susan J. Helms and Jerry M. Linenger. Photo courtesy of NASA

As Gimpy walked in, he moved slowly. Close to camp, he spotted a bird. A parrot, like in the flashy brochure inviting you to the islands, but this old bird didn’t have the perfect colors. It’d never make the cut, but it didn’t matter, it gave his spirit a lift. #SunWip #CleanWip

More tears spilled over, and Bennet couldn’t even lift his hand to wipe them. He could never be a husband to Joy again. He was as good as dead.

#CleanWIP Half-Price Bride: Using the crutch, Emily kept up. When they reached the wagon, Clint set the basket in the back and lifted her to the wagon seat. His fingers almost met around her tiny waist. Did she eat enough? Last night, she’d devoured supper like a starving dog.

“You guys are like teenagers,” said Julio. “Aren’t you supposed to be tired of each other by now?”

His father’s eyebrows lifted. “Tired of someone this beautiful?”

Julio’s mother giggled. Julio ducked quickly into the living room just as his parents began kissing. #CleanWIP

Ichia #lifted her face and looked into mine. A flicker sparked in her soft sad eyes. “I'll know when you are free of the curse. You'll feel different. When that happens, then I will trust you."#cleanWIP #vss365

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We encourage authors to use the #CleanWIP hashtag to share sneak peeks related to the day’s theme from unpublished works.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.
