One year later, that he exact alien invasion happens on Earth for undescribable reasons exactly as the novel predicted.<br />[Dan] Awesome.<br />[Brandon] That's your writing prompt. This has been Writing Excuses. A very big thank you to Sherrilyn Kenyan again for sitting in with us.

Books on the inside of your eyelids.<br />[Dan] Yes. Printing on human skin, for whatever reason, 1000 years in the future becomes the most economical and publicly acceptable way to publish a book.<br />[Brandon] This has been Writing Excuses.

But go write anyway.<br />[Howard] On human skin.<br />[Brandon] Don't write on human skin.<br />[Howard] On human skin.<br />[Brandon] Like on Howard's.<br />[Howard] OK.
