The Hollywood writers strike is over. What's next for the writers?
Briefly

Brakeman: I definitely felt a little aimless, a little wandering. It sort of felt like the first week or two of COVID lockdown, but only applied to us. I picked up the banjo. We were on strike for long enough for me to buy a banjo, sort of learn how to play the banjo, and then completely forget how to play the banjo. Brown: The five months were definitely hard. I love to write. It's one of my favorite things to do. And even when I'm not working I still kind of do it on the side for my own things. I'd say that the first month or two, I was able to write. But towards the second half of it or so, there was just so much anxiety and emotion built up in terms of just trying to figure out where the strike was going and trying to continue to make ends meet, and also just worrying about being out on the lines and the uncertainty of it all, that I just wasn't really writing very much.
