I’ve written a lot of apocalyptic fiction. In novels, I could never get away with writing many of the real-life scenarios we’re experiencing. It wouldn’t be believable. Or, at least, mass dumbassery wouldn’t have been so believable until 2020.
I like to write about intelligent characters. I don’t like fiction that requires people to be stupid to make a plot work. But here we are, in a universe where data gets denied, any mild inconvenience for public health is Communist oppression, and the President’s press secretary says, “Science should not stand in the way of schools reopening.” High school yearbooks will get a lot thicker, what with all those In Memorium pages.
But I’m not all about the condemnation. Well, I am, but I also propose solutions. Enjoy this week’s blog posts from my author site, AllThatChazz.com.
Better Safe Than Sorry, Part I
“Cautionary Tales” and why we aren’t paying attention to the experts trying to save us from ourselves.
Better Safe Than Sorry, Part II
Free masks? Screw you! Complete with awesome and amazing Bill & Tedish video! Plus celebrity deaths!
Solutions to the Mess We’re In
Wearing masks will stop the spread. The examples of Japan and New Zealand are right there! How can anyone fail the test when they already have the answer key? We still have so many people who won’t cooperate in saving everything they hold dear. What to do? How do we get through to these people? Persuasion Techniques! (Sex included.)
My favorites are 6 & 9. How about you?
