Just a quick link to a post on my writing blog, about my take on the Writers Guild of America strike, and how valuable writers are to a TV show.

Even though the biggest part of this post is about Gilmore Girls, I almost didn’t link to it here. Because I make some pretty disparaging comments regarding fans in general, and Gilmore Girls fans in particular, of which I am one.

Please remember that I am a writer, and that Amy Sherman-Palladino (in spirit) taught me everything I know. (Almost everything, anyhow.) I am fiercely dedicated to her work, and sometimes react like a creative personality when even GG fans disparage her… which some GG fans have done.
