Send short, interesting missives to current@hudsonreporter.com. Or write Current, 1400 Washington St., Box 3069, Hoboken, NJ. If we don’t get enough letters, we are going to make some up ourselves and put them here. So please write. Answering our own letters is no fun.
The naked truth
Was last week’s Strange News for real? ("Tips For First-Timer Visiting a Clothing Optional Resort," March 7). Is there really an American Association for Nude Recreation? If there is, that’s so weird. – Jill, Hoboken
We never make up our Strange News. Letters, maybe – if we don’t get enough, we might start making them up – but not Strange News. So write us some letters please!
Astrological inconsistencies
My horoscopes haven’t been on the mark at all lately. I’m Aquarius, and last week my horoscope said, "It seems you’ve got your fitness routine on track, Aquarius." But I haven’t been to the gym in months. In fact, I’ve gained at least five pounds since January. What’s up with that? – David, Jersey City
Maybe your moon’s rising under another sign.
To Leif! To Leif!
When is Leif Garrett coming back? – Ms. S.
Haven’t you heard? He’s back in a big way! Oh, do you mean to Hoboken? We don’t know. Maybe he’ll do a gig with Glenn Scarpelli. Whatever happened to him, anyway?
Free my lance
Are you hiring freelance writers or photographers? – B.B.
We usually don’t hire them when we have a full staff. However, please feel free to submit Back Page essays or photos for publication. We don’t pay for those, but it’s a good way to get published clips, and won’t all your friends be excited to see you in the Current! Get writing. Or snapping.
I’m working on a novel
Hi. I love to write. I’m working on a novel. Do you guys have any tips for getting published?
Send three chapters to editors and agents in the book "Writers’ Market" and ask if they want to see more. If they’re interested, they’ll call or write you. Don’t send them to anyone who charges a reading fee. To ask us more questions or discuss the publishing game further, please e-mail us at current@hudsonreporter.com. Let’s chat!
