I can guarantee you that he was an impartial judge. In fact, when I asked him to help me judge the contest, he claimed I hadn&#8217;t even mentioned the contest in the first place&#8230;which, sadly, is entirely possible.<br \/>One last note&#8211;don&#8217;t forget to visit today&#8217;s wonderful Robert&#8217;s Snow posts featuring illustrators with much more skill than I possess&#8211;a link to today&#8217;s schedule is in the post below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay&#8230;here comes the moment you&#8217;ve all been waiting for&#8230;or probably not, unless you have copious spare hours in your day, but anyway&#8230;The grand prize&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2,77,10],"class_list":["post-2289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-af","tag-toon-thursday","tag-views"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2289"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4413,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2289\/revisions\/4413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
