[#]WordWeavers 1/20. Do you feel the Covid pandemic has affected your writing or stories? If so, how?

I didn't set out to write about Covid, but it wound up inevitable. Me getting burned out and needing to do something creative had a lot to do with those days. And once I was writing a post-zombie apocalypse story it became impossible not to have some parallels.

Eventually, there was a zombie vaccine, zombie protein shedding, pepe the frog meme disinformation, zombie stigma, etc.

Probably the single most obscure joke/reference in the whole script involves a brain talking (roughly) about the genetics involved in making the covid vaccine more efficient, just saying it's talking about the fictional "Z-34" Zombie protein instead of SARS Cov 2 spike protein. For the possibly one viewer who gets it, this sets up the story as a Covid-y parable.
