    Day Four. Updates.

    Let me see if I can paint the past week for you really quickly. OCTOBER 29. Monday. We get to work knowing it’ll probably be our last week of work. We are frantically writing what will be our final script. Pencils down is coming soon. We are hoping against hope that a strike will be…

  • The Office Is Closed.

    Day Three on the line. The sun comes out and hits us pretty hard halfway through the shift, so I followed the lead of another strike captain who brought Trivial Pursuit cards to the line to pass out to circling picketers. I brought a sleeve of Pop Culture edition and shouted, “Without you, this stack…

  • Why I’m on STRIKE.

    I’m striking for fair compensation and representation, because every writer is a writer, no matter where he or she is writing.

    My website’s been broken for about a month, and I’ve been unable to update. Also, I’ve been busting my butt over here. Hope you watch and enjoy. Because I’d love to have this job stick around for a long time. Oh, another thing that happened while the site was down that made me think of…

  • Things I Had to Try Really Hard Not to Say When I Found Myself Standing Next To Jenna Fischer at a Bookstore.

    1. “Oh, my gosh! You’re Pam! And I’m Pam! I mean, I’m really Pam, and you’re playing Pam, but your Pam is awesome and I’m not fictional.” 2. “How’s your back? I mean… I read about how you broke it at the upfronts. I know that’s none of my business. Nevermind. Don’t answer that, I…

    I keep planning on sitting down to write my Festival of Books story. I haven’t forgotten. Instead: Two Office-related thoughts in my head lately. The first was after hearing that Jenna Fischer broke her back at the upfronts by slipping on marble stairs while wearing heels. “That’s exactly what will happen to me if I…

    waiting.

    Lots of waiting. I turned in the final draft of Why Moms Are Weird: The Sitcom to ABC last Thursday. Today, we are supposed to learn its fate. Will they want to shoot the pilot? As I sit here, staring at my cell phone, waiting, I realize I’ve been gone from this site for a…
