it's a sign

While browsing quaint little shops in Annapolis over the weekend, I came across this cute, hand-painted sign that I HAD to have:

Careful, or you'll end up in my novel.

Is that not the best sign ever?
(And if buying this sign isn't the motivation I need to write the novel, I don't know WHAT is!)

As I'm checking out, the kooky saleswoman says, "My husband's friend got him a t-shirt with this saying on it."

KK: "Really? Is your husband a writer?" Perhaps I was talking to Dean Koontz's wife.

"No," she replies, "but he asks a lot of questions."

Um, right.

Guess what, little boutique-owning kook pot?

YOU just made it into MY novel.
