Has anybody come up with a good idea as to how lone writers marooned out in the sticks can indicate their support at the appointed time?
Stephen,
Lucy at Write Here, Write Now (http://lucyvee.blogspot.com/) is inviting people to take a picture of yourself with a pro-WGA strike sign. If you send it to her, she will post it on her site as well as on unitedhollywood.com
Other people are sending pencils — follow the link on unitedhollywood.com.
Thanks! And I’ll spread the word.
