My book, SAD GROWNUPS, comes out October 8! It's the culmination of a lot of years of writing, and I'm so grateful to Stillhouse Press! Pre-orders here: stillhousepress.org/stillhouse-sto… (Also, if you happen to be interested in reviewing the book, please reach out!)
'What I love about writing (and reading!) is that there are so many stories — everyone has stories! — and so many different ways to tell them.' Cathy Ulrich discusses Small, Burning Things @OkayDonkeymag. Interview no. 463 at Speaking of Marvels. spkofmarvels.wordpress.com/2023/09/18/cat…
Thank you Alternating Current Press for sharing - Huge congratulations to all the writers (& publications). Honored to have my story included. It was first published Okay Donkey Mag/Press, & I can't say enough about that publication and its team. Truly supportive & publishing groundbreaking work.
Many hearty congrats to OKD fam Avitus B. Carle (she/her) and her story 'Like Real Women Do,' and Jeffrey Yamaguchi and his story 'Last Day Cupcakes' on being selected for the 2024 Best Small Fictions Anthology! #writing #flashfiction #microfiction #shortstories
So excited to have LIKE REAL WOMEN DO chosen for Best Small Fictions 2024!!! Sending all the thanks to the editors of Okay Donkey Mag/Press for publishing this flash and SmokeLong Quarterly for hosting their SummerLong workshop where this flash was originally born!
Stunning flash from Karen Crawford in Okay Donkey Mag/Press Such a clever weaving together of textures and tones, and so many highlights in the writing - creative verbs, rhythmic pairings, surreal images: 'His eyes are two Fourth of July sparklers. Mine, two moons eclipsed.' 🙌
'We always get lost in the music and lights. (Always.) But tonight, it’s a madhouse assault on the senses, a twilight zone of faces, glitter, and skin.'

'His eyes are two Fourth of July sparklers. Mine, two moons eclipsed. *Girl*, he says as he lights up a joint, *you really need to breathe*.'

Wrote about inmate recidivism, trauma loops, and (secretly) Buddhism. Here's part of the scene that was most fun to write.
Thank you StoryQuarterly for giving it a home and Rob Roensch for giving it a read
fun fact: an early draft of this was my very first lit mag submission..
