After reading lots of excuses, I decided there was no way I could choose a winner of the Excuse Buster contest based on excuses. In the end, I put all of the entries into a hat and had an independent party (my son) draw a name.
And the winner is…
Lynne DeVenny aka @ExpertParalegal ,well known paralegal and blogger at Practical Paralegalism.
Lynne’s excuse? “My blog doesn’t have a sponsor & my personal assistant is a Corgi that eats cat poo. I am clearly the most needy of your entrants 
“
(*edited to add Lynne’s excuse, which she is proud of, and rightly so.)
But you know, all of those excuses really made me wish I could give the prize to everyone. Of course, I couldn’t do that, but if you entered, be sure to check your e-mail to find out what I did do.
I am so excited about winning your expertise! I know that you will help me make my blog a better resource for legal professionals.
Plus, winning this contest just proves one of my theories about writing for social media purposes.
Anything with the word “dog” in it?
A winner
