Calling all writers!

So the Baby Ninja will be here very soon, and I'm thinking that I might not have time to blog for a while once that happens.  OR I'll have really funny, delusional posts written at 2 AM on two hours of sleep.  No one can predict how these things will work.

In the meantime, I'm enlisting YOUR help!  If you'd like to make a contribution to the blog to help keep it going during the temporary baby preoccupation, I'd love to publish your posts.  

Here are the only rules:
1.  It can be a work of anything you want- story that happened to you, fictional short story, poem, witty observation on life, a picture you drew of your cat, it's up to you- but you must have created it and agree that I can post it on the blog (no copyright issues please, I just couldn't deal with that and an infant).

2.  I will read everything prior to posting it, and may edit slightly for length or clarity.  

3.  I reserve the right not to post your submission for any reason without explanation.  Sorry dudes.

4.  This is just for fun, no one is making any money off of this thing (trust me), so if you submit, please do it because you like to write and you're helping a Ninja out not because you expect to get paid*.  Sorry again.  

 If you're good with those rules, then bring it!

Just send your submission(s) to obviousninjablog@gmail.com  You can send one post or 100, totes up to you.  Also, please let me know how you'd like to be credited- with your real name or a pseudonym. 

I'm taking submissions now and will create a little stockpile so that in the weeks ahead I can post them as needed.  I'll try to sprinkle in a few posts of my own here and there, and I'll keep writing until the big event.

Okay, that's all for now!  I expect at least five submissions because I know there are at least five of you out there per my Google blog analytics page.  You know who you are, don't make me hunt you down.

Thanks and hooray you!!


*If, in the off chance BJ Novak ever comes through and I get my book deal, I will not include your posts in my best selling blog compilation.  Maybe I'll mention you to Terry Gross in my "Fresh Air" interview though.
