Seven challenges to save a sister. Each week I’ll post a different haiku to represent one of the challenges.

Not force, but focus,
Brings success to the warrior.
Needle through guard’s chink.#haiku #vss365 #cleanWIP https://t.co/lWw5P14IHX (Feb 2021)

Louis was too shocked to respond for a while. When he came back to himself, he asked, “Do you think God really does that? Makes good out of evil?”
Betty shrugged. “That’s what he does best.”
Try as he might, he couldn’t make heads or tails of that perspective. #CleanWIP

#CleanWIP RYAN'S RECKLESS BRIDE: “What happened?” Ryan scratched his head surveying the destruction. Shirts and unmentionables lay in the dust trailing along the downed pole.
“The goat escaped.” Tears stung Annalyn's eyes. “I tied him to the clothesline. He pulled up the pole.”

My calmness was wearing thin but the meanness of Charlie’s words caused a lump in my throat I had to clear before I could respond. “You know that’s not true, Charlie. How can you say such a thing?” ~ #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 Though the magazine is no longer active, this site might still prove an enjoyable way to meet your next favorite author.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.
