Topical
So, apparently this was a big weekend. Not that I would know, or anything. There’s a bit going on– the writer’s strike, the Browns actually kinda sorta not sucking, and Mario 3 hits the Virtual Console today.
Yeah, I’m just going to continue to ignore the real world in favor of writing.

Hey, with the writer’s strike going on, maybe you could get work as a scab?

The thought had occurred to me, but it’s largely a screenwriter’s strike, so there’s no effect on other, non-cinematic writing. Plus, the AP mentioned that the studios sit on huge piles of scripts that they option but wait to produce for whatever reason. Since the actors and directors are still working, there’s little cause for alarm except if you’re a fan of topical programs such as the Tonight Show or the Daily Show– those shows need good writers 24/7 in case news hits and needs mocked. So, yeah, expect reruns of those, with the rest of the TV landscape hitting reruns in about two or three months.
Besides, I’m not too thrilled with the idea of writing a script, anyway; my dialogue is strong, yes, but I’m trying to rely less on that and focus more on straight descriptive prose, which I am not the best at to be nice about it. To be brutally honest, I need a lot of practice with it and NaNo is shaping up to be a good way to do that.
