TV writers and TV bloggers: Holding hands, riding on unicorns

Posted by Dan January 30th, 2008 at 11:37am In Strike

As far as we can tell, we’re still knee-deep in the strike. There have been some promising signs (like the directors union deal), but we can only assume that the light at the end of the tunnel is still miles away.

In an effort to further rally behind the writers, TV bloggers are getting in on the act. Liz from Glowy Box, who previously organized the blogger day of silence, has teamed up with the crew from Ramblings of a TV Whore to create the Adopt a Writer project.

It’s a pretty simple premise — each participating blog gets assigned a writer to interview. They discuss the writer’s life, their work and, most importantly, the impact the strike has had on their life. All of the interviews are posted on the central Adopt a Writer Web site, as well as the originating site.

So far, the project has adopted Jasmine Love (who has written for The District and The Division) and Kate Purdy (who writes for Cold Case). Go on over and take a look.

PS — TiFaux has its assignment already. We’ll be up there shortly.
