I'm a Winner in the Cell Phone Users and Abusers Contest!

I've Won--And So Have Seven Others!
Just wanted to let everyone know that I've won one of the eight prizes offered in the Win Up to $500 Writing About Cell Phone Users and Abusers! contest hosted by Brad Shorr at Word Sell, Inc. What a wonderful surprise it was to visit Word Sell a few days ago and see my name listed among the winners! (I was one of three people who won $100! There were also a $500 grand prize and four $50 prizes--a truly generous lineup of contest prizes!) To see a list of all eight winners and their respective prizes, see Brad's post, Announcing! Cell Phone Contest Prizes. (Be sure to visit Word Sell often for Brad's insightful advice on how you can use the written word to effectively market yourself, your ideas, products, or services.)
Contest Details and Links to Individual Entries
Winners were chosen by random drawing after penning posts about cell phone use and abuse, which they published to their own blogs, as their contest entries, sending links to Brad. In case you'd like to read the fascinating entries, Brad has also published a Cell Phone Users and Abusers Contest Roundup post containing links to all the entries. This group of blog posts represents a host of perspectives on a topic which is redefining modern life.
A Contest Highlighting Dr. Mike O'Malley's "Cell Hell" Book
The Cell Phone Users and Abusers contest was held to publicize Dr. Mike O'Malley's new book, Cell Hell: 55 Cell Phone Users You'd Like to Silence, which provides an entertaining look at the people who annoy, irritate, and sometimes even place us in mortal danger through their appalling cell phone habits. My own entry was The Cell Phone: Both a Blessing and a Curse.
If you have a cell phone story to tell, Dr. O'Malley is interested in receiving your stories of cell phone abuse. Visit his website to send him a message via his contact form.
Just had to share this wonderful news with all of you!
Thanks for reading!

I, too, am glad I won something!
Don't mind at all mentioning your fantastic blog, which I personally believe everyone should read. Nor do I mind mentioning Dr. O'Malley's book. Not only has he sponsored this very generous contest, but he's also written a book that I'm sure will not only entertain its readers but also provide a great deal to which they themselves can relate.
I understand that the price of Cell Hell has been reduced by almost one-third. That's quite a generous discount. Sounds as if this would be the time to buy!
Thanks for the visit!

I appreciate your good wishes! I did indeed work hard on the piece, though I guess I would have lucked out anyway (even if I hadn't worked as hard on it), since the winners were chosen by random drawing.
Thanks for stopping by!
