News Round Up! Writers on Strike, Bloggers in Vegas

by Ally

Hi all,

Lots going on in the writers world this week!

First, let’s take a look at what other writers have to say about the Writers Strike!

What Does the Writers Strike Mean to Freelancers? In the interest of disclosure, this is my channel at the About.com network. In this article, I explore the possible connections and solidarity between freelance writers and screenwriters.

Women on Writing says “Give the writers a piece of the pie!” This is a great ezine for women writers, by the way.

The Writers Write blog asks “What’s this strike thing all about?” and has a video to clarify the issue.

Meanwhile bloggers are enjoying a couple days of playing the slots rubbing elbows at the Blog World Expo in Vegas. Being a pro blogger myself, I’m more than a little antsy and jealous that I had to miss this years expo, but have already committed to next year’s. (And by ‘committed’ I mean that I t0ld my husband in no uncertain terms that I wouldn’t be missing next year!)

For updates, you’ll want to start at the official Blog of Blog World. Then, head over to About Weblogs for an update from Deb Ng. Seems there should be more pro bloggers/pro writers blogging from Blog World, and I’m sure they’ll pop up soon. But today’s the official start date, so I’ll keep a look out!
