Getting Published – The Saga Continues…
September 4, 2006
I apologize to my friends who come to this space looking for new and spunky renditions of my strange life and travels. I promise more of the same, but lately I’ve been otherwise focused. For the past coupla months I’ve been getting serious about being published, ink on paper, clippings for my writing resume.
It’s an interesting world to break into, but I’m gaining momentum. My queries and submissions are beginning to rate rejection letters which are a big step up from being completely ignored. My first thought was to post these rejections here so all my friends could heap scorn uponst my detractors, but on second glance I thought it wouldn’t make the best business sense.Â
Of course, I will post links to my successes here, and I expect everyone reading this to subscribe to any and all publications with the good sense to print my work.
Thanks for your patience, Springtime in Negril Part 3, 4 and maybe 5 will be posted soon…

Alright, well, maybe I hit the wrong button last time.
So what i said was — hey, Vnny, DON’T GIVE UP. Good for you to be pursuing your passion in earnest. And yes, rejection letters ARE better than no response at all. What do they say about making a “bad impression, rather than NO impression at all?” Ok, so it’s not that bad, but at least they did NOTICE YOU.
Keep up the good work. Here’s another cheesey expresion — “genius is 10 % inspiration and 90% PERSPIRATION”. So keep sweating, keep writing, and keep us posted.

To bad they haven’t recognized how many people you touch. I get taken away to paradise everytime I read your articles on Negril and see the images. I would definitely buy! So start selling.
