WIP Clip Wednesdays

This idea is a spin-off of Friday Snippets, a meme in which bloggers post snippets of their own fiction on Fridays for others to read and offer comment. 

We thought it would be nice to have a meme that focused more on the Romance genre, so that Romance writers could share bits of their work and get comments and offer comments in the genre they read and know best.

Rules:

1. Comment.  Make sure that your comment links to your blog or snippet, or that you sign in on the Mr. Linky box if that poster participates in Mr. Linky.  Links must be to a blog with a snippet, not to ads or promotional websites.

2. Return your visits!  If you post a snippet, please make every effort to read and comment on the snippets posted by everyone who comments to yours.  It’s only polite and it’s sort of the point.

3. Have mercy!  Please keep your excerpts under 1000 words.  We’d love to have a bunch of people participating, and reading several long posts gets hard to fit in.  Try to keep your snippet between 500-750 words.  Remember, this is just to give us a taste; it doesn’t have to be a whole scene or a whole chapter.  It could be a bit of conversation, a kiss, or some other interaction.  If there’s background we need, you can always explain it in a brief paragraph before the clip.  In fact, such explanations are encouraged and appreciated.

4. Posts from Romance writers (published and aspiring) in all Romance subgenres are invited.

5. Your clip could be your favorite bit that you wrote this week, or something that you’re not sure about and would like feedback on. But it doesn’t have to be from your current work in progress at all. Post any of your own work, past or present. And do remember to include some kind of copyright reminder with your work.

Hope to read you soon!

P.S. At Mr. Linky, look up “WIP Clip Wednesday” (code 282). 

ETA: Kettle just posted a reprise of this information, but at the end of the post she’s got useful information on how to use Mr. Linky if you’re into it.
