But today I don’t walk past and pretend to hear nothing. This time, the trees yell. I look around to see if anyone else hears it, but, as always, they pass me without even noticing that I’m there.#CleanWIP theme: pretend

Sam watched him curiously, proving to be a very unhelpful human sign-post, and within moments Prissy appeared behind him looking like the figurehead on the ship of ill-will. Timothy pretended to sniff the flowers.#CleanWIP

No one would #pretend in the sweet hour of prayer as freedom lay trapped in an old wooden cross. By faith, their prayers turned into sap. It began to ooze from the cross, mingling with the blood of innocence. What began as a trickle grew into a river of liberty for all. #CleanWip

Coryn is vacuuming while wearing her #AmongUs hat.
I come up behind her and pretend to stab her.
Coryn: Why?
Me: You were doing your tasks. I'm the imposter.
Coryn: I need a mom with a better sense of humor.

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 Though the magazine is no longer active, this site might still prove an enjoyable way to meet your next favorite author.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