But of course they &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;aren&lt;/span&gt;’t doing anything other than getting press for being arm in arm with "the people.” I mean seriously, how can anyone not analyze the fact that the SAG could totally disable Hollywood if they actually stood up and refused to work and accept studios $? I’m not a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;WGA&lt;/span&gt; apologist by any means, but I just think it’s funny how freaking selfish and shallow actors are. Totally self-satisfied, it’s just like the stuff with the environment…do something “green” for a few hours at an award show and get to feel like a freaking visionary.

I am driving out to Los Angeles with the full intention of breaking the Writers Guild picket line. It’s clear the writers on strike are greedy and full of themselves. Studios pay them millions of dollars and look how grateful they are. I am available immediately for work as an entry level writer or producer or assistant director while the writer’s are striking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I graduated in May from Seton Hall with a 3.1 GPA majoring in Creative Writing (screenplays, plays, free journaling) and have almost 4 years of dialogue writing experience. My one-act play “Putting With Papa” detailing a young boy’s final round of mini golf with his grandpa was a finalist at our university Autumn Theater Def Blowout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’d like to contact me and do business, please respond to this post, check out the blog I've set up to sort through offers/proposals(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.writersguildstrikesolution.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://www.writersguildstrikesolution.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;) or call me at 818-441-5989.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks everyone. It’s showtime!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. If you are not looking for a dynamic writer at this time, I also have an amazing production-ready comedy script, HOME SCHOOL, available for purchase. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1745568138429632171-1877700393973530937?l=writersguildstrikesolution.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://writersguildstrikesolution.blogspot.com/feeds/1877700393973530937/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1745568138429632171&amp;postID=1877700393973530937' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1745568138429632171/posts/default/1877700393973530937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1745568138429632171/posts/default/1877700393973530937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://writersguildstrikesolution.blogspot.com/2007/11/non-union-writer-available-during-wga.html' title='Non-Union Writer Available During WGA Strike'/><author><name>thombomb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10643440580654136439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
