Word Sell iPod Nano Contest Deadline Extended

Writing Contest Deadline Extended to March 13th
In a post written earlier today--nano Contest Stays Open until March 13th--Brad Shorr has extended the deadline for his Word Sell Writing Contest until 5pm Central time on March 13th. Because he didn't receive the minimum 10 entries needed to give away the 8 GB iPod Nano ($200 value), Brad has graciously decided to give us all another crack at the prize.
About the Contest
Specific contest rules are posted at the second link above, but the gist of the contest is this: Entrants must write a blog post based on a cartoon that Brad has posted at his blog. It's a great opportunity to get creative, using one of Brad's fantastic cartoons for inspiration, while at the same time placing yourself in the running for the drawing for the iPod Nano. Sounds like a winning combination to me!
I've already posted my entry, and it's been very interesting to see the differing approaches of various bloggers who have entered so far. There's really a great deal of latitude here for each blogger's own interpretation of this cartoon, which is one of the most fascinating aspects of this contest--other than the possibility of winning the iPod, that is!
Hurry and Get Your Entry In
Why not drop by Word Sell and check it out! You never know whether inspiration might not strike like a bolt of lightning once you've looked at the cartoon! (Case in point: This isn't the first time one of Brad's cartoons has inspired me to write a blog post. The first time I did it, I didn't even have the possibility of winning an iPod to motivate me. Brad's cartoons are motivation enough in their own right.)
So, hurry over to Word Sell, read the contest rules, look over the cartoon, and get your creative juices flowing! Enter this fun contest, and who knows, you may soon be the proud owner of a brand new iPod Nano!
Good luck!

Writer's Notes
Glad to help! Robert's right, of course; but then again, if we don't reach a certain minimum number of participants, none of us has a chance of winning! Hope you've received a few more entries since our posts came out--and hope you'll hit the minimum!
Thanks for the visit!
