CaBil, I think she meant currently employed, but I'm not Kristen so what do I know?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I was under the impression you were a writing folk.
You are not wrong. When I said non-writing folks, I meant writers, such as myself, who didn't write anything during the strike. I did write some grocery lists. But other than that, not a word until this week.
That was less about pencils down and more about strike weariness and writer's paralysis.

Ah, I gotcha. I understand. I just finished the 'word vomit' draft of my Serenity RPG adventure, and as I am bashing it up to first draft status, I am looking at it and feel the need to play Minefield, for, umm at least two weeks...
ETA, Needless to say, I don't have those two weeks built into my writing time...

I just cleaned old files off of our web server and reset our spam filters.

Hah! I am not sure that counts, that almost sounds like a reasonable use of time!

I like how Kristen's "writing" process makes things easier for me.
Although she still hasn't taken me up on my offer to let her rearrange my closets.

Hey, the script ain't done. You might see me on your doorstep yet.

Monique, I'm closer and I need help with moving from my old spacious closets to my newer less so.
So if Kristen really wants to procrastinate, I got stuff for her to do.

Perhaps we could set up a time-share agreement?

Later, I will have a hilarious story about the new lengths I've gone to to avoid writing. In the interim, the Hollywood Reporter has an article about post-strike specs:
All too quiet on the post-strike front.
