Writing Professionally Again

I have been writing for about a year and a half now for East Village Magazine.  I am grateful for the opportunity to write professionally again.  My current Editor, Jan Worth-Nelson refers to the magazine atmosphere as the EVM family.  Family is the correct description as I have been welcomed.  Sometimes we have fruits and cheeses to eat other times we have popcorn.  Since the pandemic; however, we have been meeting via Zoom. 

My Assistant Editor, Tom Travis has been helping me as well to recognize the lead in stories.  He has a sad thing happening now as his son is a student at Purdue University and has Covid-19 along with his roommates.  Tom has asked for prayers.

My latest article is on GCCARD a program for delivering meals and commodities to the less fortunate or elderly.  You will need to visit https://www.eastvillagemagazine.orgThe article was published on September 14, 2020.

Veteran Urn

In 2011, I learned how my friend died of a heroin overdose.  Many people failed to understand my friend and his struggles.  He had a stutter and he never made it back mentally from Somalia where he served in the military.

His battles were real.  His last ride was on a Harley Davidson in an urn.  Another friend took him on his motorcycle through the streets of Fowlerville, Michigan.  His final resting place is beside a half-way house.

Gaining Confidence

Friday, August 9, 2019, A friend of mine and myself took a city bus to downtown Flint to enjoy the Flint Art Walk.  Taking a city bus was an accomplishment because I got lost in Washington state. https://www.eastvillagemagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/EVM-08.19.pdf see pages 15 and 16 for my story on the various forms of transportation in Flint, Michigan.  I am now working as a reporter for East Village Magazine.

East Village Magazine

I have written my first article for East Village Magazine located in Flint, Michigan.  Look for it in August.  I did not realize it would be available so soon. https://wp.me/p6Ue43-2Qk
