Keep submitting them. _Teemings_ always wants material. And you have a lot to offer.

Ya think so, **Dave**? I was under the impression (thanks to some HS English Lit teachers…) that my writing sucked bear poop. But apparently not. 🙂

I know how you feel **I\_Dig\_Bad\_Boys**. I was going to start a thread called

**"I’m in Teemings again! Or Wow, poor buggers are desperate for content!"**

😃

I’ve always wanted to be a writer, I’m not sure what’s stopped me before this, perhaps I’ve always felt my writing was incredibly craptacular.

Or perhaps it’s because I tend to **make up my own freakin’ words!**

I’m such an idiot. Sheesh.

Yeah, but evidently they don’t get a lot of material every month … everything I’ve submitted (IIRC) has been accepted;)

**Stephi** –craptacular is a word.🙂 I’ve used it meself. And don’t feel bad. Your writing probably isn’t that bad. 'Course now I haven’t seen it so I can’t say for myself…but ya get my drift. I’ve always thought my writing was superbly craptacular, thanks to my Sr. English Lit teacher who said my Sr. Thesis was about as interesting as watching a monkey pick his nose.😮

See, now, I’d love to watch a monkey pick its nose. But then again, I live in a small town with a lot of chemicals in the water.

Anyway, congrats on getting published!! “Teemings” rocks.

Some people have said that I write well… but I’ll always remember what an English teacher told me once: “Your writing’s all right, but reading it is like wading through molasses.”

I don’t think my writing’s good enough to be submitted to _Teemings_, anyhow. You want samples to see so you can judge for yourself? (besides all this crap I happen to spew out on various forums, like this one)

**IDBB** , your writing’s very good… unlike mine! Congrats on getting published, too. 🙂

**F\_X** –while not the most interesting (sorry…shoulda warned you…brutal honesty coming through!), your writing is quite good, IMO.

And thanks. 🙂 I was truly surprised to get another email from Euty and co about the publishing. I am truly grateful, ya’ll.

Just a little warning … we may be a little late this issue. I’ve been a little tied up recently. Be patient, please.
