In the interest of keeping good relations with our fellow human beings, I have decided that writers should come with warning labels.
WARNING:
-Likely to change subjects mid-conversation.
-Prone to shouting out strange things in public.
-Liable to leave bed in the middle of the night when inspiration strikes.
-May become violent when interrupted, especially when the interruption was something that could have waited.
-May be familiar with various ingenious ways to kill you... AND get away with it.
-Particularly hazardous when mixed with credit cards and bookstores.
-Use extreme caution when corresponding--unless you want your emails, letters, receipts, etc. proofread.
-Keep away from sharp objects when in the presence of rejection letters.
-If caught talking to herself, do NOT call local mental institution.
-If taken with rejection letters, please call 1-800-HERSHEY for antidote.
If you had to make a warning label for yourself, what would yours say?

LOL! These are great. Definitely dangerous mixing bookstores and credit cards!
Mine would be: If you have just asked me a question and I'm staring at you, do not shake, snap your fingers or yell--you may make me loose my grip on the plot twist I was working on in my head and then I will have to kill you." (and as you've pointed out we have well-researched ways of taking people down!) he he
Those are both great! Good thing we're all such nice people, and we take our frustrations out in our work. ;o)
Here's one that's not so much a warning as a reminder:
Just because I stopped typing doesn't mean it's a good time to start talking to me.
Your "violent when interrupted" is exactly me, though I might add "do not interrupt: procrastination in process".
