( My summary points  )

( The curtains rise, and we see our players... )

[Brandon] All right. Well. Writing prompt. Anyone come up with one? I warned you ahead of time. But we're all... Howard's basically dead over there, for those who can't see him because you're listening to this.
[Mary] Poor Howard.
[Brandon] He didn't get much sleep last night. So, Misty. Writing prompt? Anything you want to send these aspiring writers to do? They can't write, they're blocked, whatever.
[Howard] It can even kind of be homework.
[Brandon] Yes.
[Mercedes] All right. Your homework for tonight, ladies and gentlemen, is to go down to the coffee shop, eavesdrop on some conversation, and go home and write the end of that conversation and the conclusion that the two people have come to.
[Brandon] Fantastic. That's a really good one. Thank you very much, Mercedes Lackey, for being on the podcast. Thank you GenCon.
[Applause]
[Brandon] This has been Writing Excuses. You're out of excuses, now go write.
