NON SKATING FUNNY
As a novelist who also just had to deal with The Writers Guild of America strike, the following article from "The Onion" pretty much said it all:

LOS ANGELES—The Novelists Guild of America strike, now entering its fourth month, has had no impact on the nation at all, sources reported Tuesday.

Bookstores across the country saw no measurable change in anything.
Nor has America's economy seen any adverse effects whatsoever, as consumers easily adjust to the sudden cessation of any bold new sprawling works of fiction or taut psychological character studies.
Entire sad but true story, here.
