New creative nonfiction piece up in The Keeping Ro

New creative nonfiction piece up in The Keeping Room!

Here's a snippet from Shanda McManus's "Bone and The Witch":

"Bone, whose real name was Sonia, slurred and moaned. Her laugh was uhhuh and a prolonged hiccup. Her thin arms jerked back and forth when she got excited, and her hands twisted into uneven fists. Sometimes spit would pool behind her lips and slip out the corners of her mouth. Bone could not walk or stand, so she spent her days in a wheelchair. Dagmar lifted her easily even though Bone was bigger than her. She carried her up and down the steps with her back straight. I could see Bone’s thin ankles dangling as they went up the steps. Soon, Bone’s moans and slurs sounded like talking to me, and I could understand her too. I stopped thinking of her as anything but another girl. I asked Dagmar why Bone was like she was.

'I was young, stupid, and wearing too tight clothes,' she said."

Last call to sign up for a productive night of introspection and generative writing!

We will be joined by none other than Karen Skalitzky, author of "That Irresistible Pull"—a breathtaking CNF piece recently published in The Keeping Room—as well as her book, A Recipe for Hope: Stories of Transformation by People Struggling with Homelessness.

Sign up for the workshop through the link in bio. Together, we'll work through our writing toolkits and throw away anything that no longer serves us.

Here's a snippet from Sherry Stratton's "While It's Still Possible":

"I knew Mom couldn’t remove her wedding and engagement rings. Literally, could not get them off: the knuckle of her ring finger was swollen way beyond the size of the rings. Her other knuckles were swollen too, to varying degrees, and some of her fingers were crooked. She never commented on the state of her hands except to sometimes mention about the rings. She complained only that the arthritis was a nuisance, apologizing for her slowness sorting her bridge hand. We saw the trouble she had holding onto the thirteen cards. I never heard her speak of the pain, but her fingers must have hurt. I know this because mine are starting to hurt."
