How To Survive the Writers' Strike



Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are enjoying 2008 if it's already turned where you live, or that you're planning for a festive or at least relaxing New Year's Eve. Ours are quiet. I am not much of a party animal anyway, but I like quiet New Years as a way to bring in the new 365 on a peaceful note, just hanging with Mike and watching TV, going to bed early, making a nice New Year's Day dinner, and getting back into the swing of things.
Don't worry, romance writers are not the ones on strike, but as any television viewer knows, TV and film writers are holding out for fair compensation from studios using their work on the internet. Of course, part of what a lot of us look forward to in the New Year is the new January TV season, but this year that's gone a little wonky with the strike. We're all facing a New Year with some of our favorite shows being held hostage, and well, it's not an easy pill to swallow, even if the writers are right to demand what's fairly due to them.
