Gname That Gnome #8

Gnome #8 be a seafaring gnome!

Gname that Gnome!

Yesterday's winning name was the first one posted, "Willikers," by Q. And Helene says, "He is afraid of being in low places."

Have a good weekend!

Gname That Gnome #7

Gname that Gnome!

Yesterday's neolithic gnome was named "Ptorna" by reader Chris, and Lizardbreath McGee informed us that, "she hunts tiny, tiny mastadons." Very well played, guys.

Gname That Gnome #6

This is a Stone Age lady gnome.

Gname that Gnome!

Yesterday's gnome was named "Gnightshade, the Prince of Shadows" by Megwrites and Katherine Elisabeth. There were some great posts yesterday, everyone is really running with the gnome gnames.

Gname That Gnome #5

This is a nocturnal gnome.

Yesterday's Gnome was named "Bernard," by Abigail. And the detail, "he thought he caught a big fish." is from Bridget. Nice work guys.

Gname that Gnome!

Gno Gnomes is Good Gnomes

Hi guys, no gnome today. I just pulled an all-nighter to get my graphic novel finished. Today was the deadline (the extended deadline, anyway...) The files (all 120 pages) are now posted snugly in a folder on the publisher's ftp site. That book is FINISHED!

So take some extra time to contemplate this fishing gnome. I'm going to go peel the contact lenses out of my eyes and do some daytime sleeping!

Gnome on tomorrow!

Gname That Gnome #4

This gnome has caught a fish.

Gname that Gnome!

Yesterday's winning name continues the g-name streak, with "Gnorma" by commenter "Unknown." And the detail "Her nose is really cold" by Anika S.

Great work everyone. These stories you are posting are hysterical. The gnomes seem to be more fun to write about than the dragons were.

You have the weekend for this guy--take your time!

Gname That Gnome #3

This lady gnome has terrible eyesight.

Gname that Gnome!

Yesterday's sleepy gnome was named, "Gottfried," by Anonymous (possibly Katharine.) Detail (this is a fun new addition) goes to Jack for "Drank too much Fanta."

Gname That Gnome #2

Today's gnome (guh-no-may) is a lazy gnome with a luxuriant beard.

Gname That Gnome!

Yesterday's winner was Alysa, with "Gary." My kids, 10 and 6 are once again acting as judges. The name Gary is now out of play (otherwise ALL of these gnomes would be Garys.) Great work everybody! Honorable Mention for detail goes to Chris for "Favorite food is chives."

I mentioned last week that I was under a heavy deadline. That is still the case. I had to send out the email of shame. That's the one where I have to ask the publisher for an extra week. This is a stunt I've ONLY ever pulled with graphic novels (because there is NEVER enough time on a graphic novel--I'm ashamed to say I haven't gotten one in on time yet. Next one, for sure!) Anyway, I'm scrambling to get this one wrapped up by the end of this week (then I go straight into the next one, due in September!) Publishers, if you happen to be reading this, the gnomes aren't digging into any graphic novel time--they make a nice, twenty minute break from the unending grind of panels.
