The Writer's Strike
Sunday, November 4, 2007
As many of you may know, there's a writer's strike. Members of the Writer's Guild, of which I am one, are no longer allowed to work on scripts for features, teleplays -- anything -- until all of the issues are resolved, especially those dealing with revenues from DVD sales.
Which leaves me in quandary. As a member of the Guild, I can't write for Hollywood; I can write a novel. But what if the novel I'm writing is later turned into a film? Would that nullify the work I did during the strike? It's a gray area, legally.
So, to be safe, I'm going on vacation and not writing anything at all. E-mails? Forget about it. Grocery lists? Not on your life. I'm not even leaving a note for my wife. The plot of this blog might be turned into a blockbuster for all I know, and I could get blacklisted, so this may be the last you hear from me for a while.
I may not be out there picketing, but that short story I meant to finish next week? It'll have to wait.

Heh heh... I hope that's sarcasm, going to miss the weekly blog updates. Sigh... I guess now would be the time for me to move to Hollywood and become a scab... (KIDDING)
