Time to try to get published again. Wish me luck.

 


Now that I am retired, I should have all of the time in the world to do more writing and trying to get published. Technically I have had my writing before the public. First as a writer on the Eureka High Redwood Bark. Then I sent letters to the editors of the Times Standard, Arcata Eye, Press Democrat and the San Francisco Chronical about politics and I wrote sport updates for Sports Editors locally for years. I self-published a softball newsletter that some people give me grief over the years. I wrote a biblical analysis of the New Testament Bible in the 80's that took me years to complete.  90's I wrote a Fiction Novel and actually got paid to write up Safe Operating Procedures at the pulp mill. I wrote training manuals for Union Organizers in the 2000s as well working on non-fictional story about leading the workers of Dart Container in their successful union organizing drive in 2004. I wrote a Childs Book inspired by my son Jordan that I tried to get published with no luck. I am currently working on a non-fictional novel about my father's work as legal counsel with the Mafia. My last employment with the Construction Industry Force Account Council I wrote almost daily about the progress of my work that was published monthly. 

I have decided Prioritize and revisit the Science Fiction novel I wrote and see if I can get that published. Then the Child Book published. After that I will work on the Non-Fictional novels. Hopefully i can finish all in this year. Wish me luck!

Mikes Burgers or Bust!

Is there any place in Humboldt that compares to Mikes Burgers? What I am looking for is the greasy equal for fries and chili burger or hotdogs. Maybe Surfside? Double AA makes a good one. When I come back to Humboldt this summer to visit I want something that reminds me of the garlic fries!
