The Writers’ Guild Strike In Freedonian Speak

Dammit. Spank me and call me Edna, ’cause this is good. Way good.

I have missed me some Freedonian. Let him speak to you about the Writers’ Guild, because he speaketh some truth.

The BBC understands the value of writing when it comes to character development. Rather than a room full of writers cranking out 22-24 episodes per year, their seasons run only six to twelve episodes apiece— It allows the same writer to carry it from start to finish, ensuring that the character development, mood, and continuity are consistent from episode to episode.

Ben Affleck in a Kevin Smith movie = Emphasis on writing.
Ben Affleck in “Armageddon” = The film was halfway finished shooting by the time they had a fully functional shooting script.

Get it?

Yet once again, the entertainment industry has found a way to screw over the people that create and craft the stories that they pass up no chance to pat themselves on the back for telling.

I love me some Freedonian. Man, where the hell have you been?

Doesn’t matter. You’re back.

    I can’t thank you enough for the warm welcome back. I can’t promise at this point to go daily again just yet, but I’m trying to build better writing habits.

    I can’t support the writers enough in this. Steve Carell just became a new hero of mine— He refuses to cross the pickets to even film the episodes that have already been written. I’ll miss “The Office”, but I love those principles even more than I love the show.
