It's over!

The 100-Day Writers Strike has officially ended, with 92.5% of WGA members voting to return to work.

The business of show business will once again run full steam ahead! The spec script market is anticipating another mid 90's-style boom, as agents and producers gear up to start taking meetings and television shows scurry to re-staff.

So what can all this mean for you?

Whether you're a guild member or you're just starting out as a writer, this is a sizzling new era to take control of your career, and capitalize on the renewed creative energy coursing through Hollywood.

We'd like to present to you the top 3 ways to get back on track with your writing:

1. Learn

Continue your exploration of the craft through one of the many Classes and Events currently being offered, or with an online course at WritersUniversity.com [see the Writers Store site].

Even if you live too far to join us in person, you can still glean knowledge from creative experts through the vast library of Articles available on our website, or through a live course presented on DVD.

And why not find a guru, a teacher or even just a good editor at Services at StoryLink?

2. Create

The old adage is true: writers write. With the strike over, it's time to fire up Final Draft and start work on a new stage or screenplay.

Brainstorm and outline your project in Power Structure for a bulletproof script.

If you need creative stimulation, check out the new Writer's Mind CD that uses brainwave audio technology to get your left and right brain working in harmony, resulting in intense creativity, clarity and inspiration.

Avail yourself of all that's out there!

3. Promote

Today's technology provides countless new ways to deliver your script into the right hands.

Many of Hollywood's hottest movers and shakers are currently seeking new material through Pitch Perfect, StoryLink's online pitch marketplace.

[See link from the Writers Store site].

A novel way to get buyers interested in your script is to let them hear it - send 'em a quality recording made by the pros at iScript!

And if you're a purist, there's always the Hollywood Creative Directory for all your contact info needs.

As you follow our 3-step plan to get your writing in gear, we invite you to tell us all about it by creating your own Blog at StoryLink.com.

It's a great way to connect with the creative community and get your writing style and name out there in the process.

Happy writing!

Sincerely, Your Friends at The Writers Store
