Is this political hub-bub of quietism activism of entertainment, merely commercial ad-creep I wonder.
Thinking to this show vs Telling
Including the scenes, which I learned from the story grid.
why not both? Thinking of the trove of writers on substack again.
"Secondly, even if you are looking to “show” it’s important to remember that virtually all fiction involves both “showing” and “telling.” If some over-zealous writing teacher claims you should never tell, ignore them. You need both exposition and scene, at least in most works. The way to apply this rule is to show the most important information for your themes, story, and characters. Show us the pivotal scenes, the dramatic peaks, and the crucial plot twists. Tell us the information we might need to know, but isn’t as dramatic or thematically important. Part of this is a question of emphasis, signalling to the reader what is important, but another part is time management. Put simply: telling is typically quicker than showing. It takes less words to sum up a conversation or scene than to summarizing it. So understanding when to tell and show is a crucial aspect of controlling the pacing of any story."
Oh, well, are people afraid to make ideology and political commentary with their fiction? Well, prosumerism in the west always exist, i shan't use the non-authority of the prosumer public, they don't know.
Beware those who make a scene of prescriptive quietism.
I don't know if what I write is too controversial, or should I be controversial for the right reason? Contrarian with meaning or premeditation.
Posting this again for good fortune.
