FEATURE The Clackamas Print November 15,1989 Page 3 With several novels: writing is no mystery for Haynes By Tootie Smith Staff Writer Speaking faster than his brain can think, he offered sound advice on a career path journalism stu dents can take, but not necessarily one he took. “My career path was illogical; I made stupid mistakes. I never did an internship. Now it is the only way to get a job. “Journalism is a smart and good major, but it’s not the only way to go,” he said. Haynes graduated from Le wis and Clark College in 1985 with a BS in Political Science after attending CCC for four years. He was also editor of The Print. Haynes did some freelance writ ing for smaller weeklies, a couple of features for the Oregonian, then landed a reporting position at the Lake Oswego Review. Just re cently, he became editor of the West Linn Tidings. “... The only otherpiece of furni ture, equally old and tarnished, was Henry Bishop, who sat slouched sideways in his chair like the ca daver in a mystery novel, his head resting on his forearm on the green desk blotter. Before him sat an enormous ceramic coffee mug deco rated with the stylized initials J J AC and the college’s insignia, and a finger-foil of whiskey..." “Bishop’s Gambit Declined" . by Conrad Haynes Is it a plane? Is it a bird? No, it’s super-sleuth, journalist, mys- tety writer Dana Haynes — or Conrad Haynes, depending on which of his works you happen to be reading at the time. Haynes is a former student from CCC, and currently is the editor of the West Linn Tidings, and au thor of five mystery novels. This energetic ball of wit flew into Linda Vogt’s Reporting 1 class last week and spoke to students about his experiences as a jour nalist and writer. “I always knew I would be a newspaper reporter,” said Hay nes. “It’s the neatest possible job; I wouldn’t want to do anything else. Journalism is great training ifyou want to be a fiction writer,” he continued? Former student, Dana Haynes, is writing mystery novels and he is also the editor of the West Linn Tidings. Haynes was on campus last week speaking to reporting students.

Peggy Conrad Haynes, his wife, remains his staunchest critic and most ardent supporter. She helps in editing, typing, and is currently employed as an executive secre tary in Portland. “It’s a good thing I’m a femi nist, because I like being kept,” said Haynes when referring to his wife’s lucrative employment that kept him alive financially through lean times as a writer. Giving advice on how to de velop a story, Haynes said some stories are word driven and some are image driven. The writer should know which type of story it is, and focus in oh that. : When asked if he ever experi enced writer’s block, he said, “In journalism, the word for writer’s block is unemployment.” A lack of words is not a prob lem for our not so mild-mannered Clark Kent, super-sleuth^ journal ist of mystery novels.
