The deadline for submissions for the next [Teemings](http://www.teemings.com) is February the 29th and so far we’ve only gotten a small handful of submissions. I know you’re out there and I know you’re creative. I can hear you breathing … ---

I wrote a short review for a book I just finished. Can I submit that? I did post it on [bn.com](http://bn.com), though, if that makes a difference. ---

My entire oeuvre consists of conversations I have while drunk at the Waffle House and forget before I can scribble down. If I could submit them, I would. They’re art. ---

I’ll be submitting some stuff that is pure genius. Or utter crap. I’m not quite sure what is may be. You decide. 🙂 ---

I went thru my file of stuff that’s already written - it’s either poetry or really bad stories. Perhaps I’ll get inspired and dash something off. It’s been too long since I last submitted anything. Fetch me my muse! ---

I could submit some scenes from the show I’m writing with **CuriousCanuck** … funny bits. No lyrics or anything, just dialogue. But I don’t know how that would go over with the esteemed staff of _Teemings_ - or **CC**. ---

Lamentably, **Euty** , anything I write spends five or six glorious seconds being unpublished before it’s pasted into my LJ, which IIRC makes it automatically ineligible for _Teemings_. My writing is so erratic (in terms of when and what) that I don’t know when I’ll next put anything out. Sometimes I write five pages in a day and sometimes not even five pages in a month. ---

I’m going to submit something. I’ve become very angry and empowered by recent events, and what I need to do is publish my thoughts so that others can grow angry and empowered as well! Actually I might submit two things, because I also write humor. Pick whichever one you like best. ---

Is there any limit on length? I have a story that I wrote that I’d be happy to contribute, but it’s three pages long. Is that too lengthy? ---

How does one go about submitting? I have some poetry that I’m thinking of letting be read by the fabulous folks here. I’ve never submitted before. ---

I would love to contribute something, and have numerous things written on several discs. But as anyone who has read my posts realize, I can barely write a coherent sentence, much less a full story or essay. Oh well, maybe I’ll try to polish something and submit it to see what happens.
