"Show, don't tell," is one of the most overused, abused, and misunderstood pieces of writing advice out there. Every piece of prose fiction is a MIX of showing and telling. Showing everything would be godawful. Balancing the showing and the telling is part of the writer's craft.

I have never wanted a vaccine so much in my life.

Also, we need more doses here too -_-

@rosamundhodge Here for it.

@PeteMC666 I legit have this planned out in my head. I want a (quality) cinematic adaptation of my first book, which is high fantasy. And then the second book and its sequel (steampunk fantasy), should have graphic novel adaptions because the mood is perfect for the medium.

@JayVAster_SFF Why is this even a thing????

Just a reminder that you can have your dream job & still have hard days. & see the flaws in the job or feel tired or overwhelmed. You can be so grateful & lucky to have landed where you did & still need to pour two glasses of wine & lay on your couch after work.

@rosamundhodge They are not continually harvesting stem cells from abortions to further vaccine research. 2/2

[Anna F. Humphrey @afhumphrey]

@rosamundhodge I'd also like to point out that there are only 2 (if I remember correctly) human stem cell lines in use for this kind of research, & both of them come from separate abortions in the 60s (? I need to find the video). 1/2

[Anna F. Humphrey @afhumphrey]

@WittEWrites YOU SAID TIMBITS.

I'm taking credit for that. 🇨🇦

[Anna F. Humphrey @afhumphrey]

Yep, great job guys. 😂

[Anna F. Humphrey @afhumphrey]

@PeteMC666 I'm guessing they never saw The Mummy...

[Anna F. Humphrey @afhumphrey]

@rosamundhodge help you live longer and better yadda yadda yadda. But very few (or no) ads about how to live a *good* life. I honestly think that it's more indoctrinated than anything. And it succeeds because we're afraid. And because we're afraid, we don't want to ask the hard questions.

[Anna F. Humphrey @afhumphrey]

@rosamundhodge OK, I had (another) thought. Are we *really* not wired to think about our own imminent demise or is it just that society has trained us to not think to carefully about mortality? Let's face it, there are ads for "fountains of youth" and procedures and diets to supposedly 1/2

[Anna F. Humphrey @afhumphrey]

@MissStreetlight @rosamundhodge ^this^

Also? I spent nearly 15 years helping care for my dad, who was slowly dying from ALS. I was in the room when he went home. Mortality isn't something...new. I mean, have you seen this world?!?
