Hey everybody - I posted a great guest blog about the strike and it's potential impact on The Rouge Wave today. I was lucky enough to talk Philippa Burgess into writing that up for me. I personally found it quite elucidating! I know there's a lot of places to get opinions and information about the strike but Philippa made a couple of points about it that hadn't occurred to me - there might be a now ineffable upside after the strike; it could usher in any number of new trends in the spec market. I guess when one door closes, another opens. How's that for positive thinking?!

Re: Strike Blog
Every paid writer was a wannabe at one time. Doesn't change the fact that the strike shouldn't be about trying to work the angles.Originally posted by pwrmyth View PostComment

Re: Strike Blog
God forbid anyone should try to find an upside to what will most likely be a pointless strike.Comment

Re: Strike Blog
I'm not sure I get it - Philippa posts what I thought was a pretty interesting take on the (likely) strike...and...that's a problem because...?
Yes a strike hurts real people; I'm off to go visit a set right now that will go dark the minute it kicks in. My best friend just bought a house and it's going to be tough to pay the mortgage. But writers trying to break in need to simply keep writing and keep learning.Comment
