further to the conversation...

And, in case you thought that it was only Google who didn't seem to grok that without a writer you don't have, y'know, A Story, and it's okay to ignore their essential involvement in the whole deal?

Hollywood doesn't think so either. And aren't sure writers have any right to attend the Emmys, apparently.

I've been mulling this one over quietly because it wasn't my story to tell, but I link you over to tightropegirl for her take on the situation. Read it, and weep for the Cluelessness.

It is a hell of a time to be a involved in the creative arts in America, let me tell you. Who knew we'd be thinking about leaving not for political or medical reasons, but to protect our right to work? [I hear Paris has been kind to ex-pat American writers before...]*






*for those of you feeling humor-impaired this morning yes, that's a joke.
