lagilmanActually, I did manage to get a lot done today. Just not the stuff that was at the top of the to-do list. Still, day's not dead quite yet. And once I got over the "already?" squeak of shock, I updated the Cosa Nostradamus blog with some pre-order information about Free Fall. Just so's ya know. (Yes, M'e, indie stores get love too)
So not a bad Saturday, really. Work-pony has been ridden. Just not taking any fences just yet. Maybe tomorrow.
Speaking of work, I'm going to link you over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tightropegirl's post about the writer's strike, the AMPTP's proposed return to the negotating table and why that's both good and possibly bad, and Big Fannish Love among the WGA because I think everyone should read it. But if you're pressed for time and just want to know how to keep the heat on so that something actually gets accomplished at the negotiating table, check out Pencils2Mediamoguls. To quote Doris directly:
The fannish universe is a scattered place these days, with a lot of isolated planets; there aren't that many central gathering spots any more. If you have a journal or blog, and you want to help, I'd ask you to treat this like a meme and put up the pencil link in your journal, along with a suggestion that other people do the same. (If you want to include an explanation of the strike, you could link to my last post, or to United Hollywood.) Potentially, this could be a historic moment; fans have gotten together to support a show, but so far as I know, there's never been a pan-fandom movement to support writers. I'm hopeful, and I'm excited, and boy do I want to see how this turns out.
If enough pencils arrive, then maybe, by the time November 26 comes around and the AMPTP sits down at the table, they'll be serious about negotiating. And everyone can go back to work. (me again: and then go buy a book to read until new shows hit the air. 'Cause us printed-word writers need to make a living too!)
So, nu, why are you still here? Go! Do good! (and do write!) Me, I'm going to go stir-fry some protein, and then get back to't.
