If you don't mind me asking ...

How do you spend your time during these strikes ? Do you continue writing,
but not submitting material. Or out on the picket line, or take some time
off.

What type of writing is not covered by WGA ?

I've got 3 comics per month to turn out (Rising Stars, Midnight Nation,
Spider-Man), plus the weekly Psycomic column, and the City of Dreams scripts
aren't affected because radio drama covered any more by the WGA, and I'm
writing a new novel, more of a mainstream book, and there's other stuff...I
don't generally have or take time off.

WGA covers TV and film and is working on covering internet TV productions. 
That's it.
