I'm afraid I'll need such a gnome.

Um, if you're Grand Master, I'm Lord High Procrastinator. We should start a club.
Someday....

Stumbled on your blog browsing. Yes, I need a gnome. The one that says, "If you don't finish this book, the entire known universe will be destroyed by Dr. Evil."
Nothing like a little encouragement to get you writing, right?

Hi Lilly!
Thanks for stopping by. Where did you wander on in from?
Feel free to take a gnome out of petty cash. We're an irreverent bunch around here. We look for inspiration where ever we can get it, even in wayward Underpants Gnomes. We also offer flaky encouragement and Dark Side cookies for the fantasy writers among us.
Be careful if you take a gnome, they're evil little suckers. If you say you're going to write 5000 words that day, they don't let you stop until you're done, even if your fingers bleed...
I need the whole damn gnome horde, as I am the Lordest Most Highest Uber-Poobah of Procrastination to have ever donned the symbolic fez.
That's right. Procrastinators get fezzes . . .
It looks to me like we all need to have a Procrastinator Smack-Down along the lines of - Who's the biggest procrastinator?
Hmm,I sense another cookie coming on. A fez-gnome-chip cookie.
