Writer or Waiter?

When served at ________ (fill in the blank), you will hear "Enjoy!" It is universally accepted as an accompaniment with food presentation. But is that admonition acceptable--even with a smile--as you sign your published work? Assuming your text is the finished product of your writer training, don't start (or stop) pushing your pen until you've fashioned a signing that reflects and is a credit to the whole. Funny, clever, poignant, provocative, it can make a favorable lasting impression if it's right. Readers will know.
Leave "ENJOY!" in the hands--er, the mouth-- of the capable waitstaff. Sign your work like a writer.
