Rest is not a retreat from progress, it's the foundation that sustains it.
It takes enormous fortitude to be aware of the truth and not be destroyed by it.
So pay attention a little less (or focus on truths that are not demoralizing) to sustain the path forward.

She WILL protect our Medicaid!
She knows how many people will be devastated by these proposed cuts. About the kids who will be hungry every single day. How our seniors will struggle to feed themselves w/out Meals on Wheels. How many small medical centers will close.

The greatest comics storytellers are formalists. You know where plot points need to go, but not always what those plot points are, often bc you are working in a group. Is the next line-wide crisis temporal? Political? Magical? That informs what you ultimately put on the other side of the cliffhanger
I was always amazed at reading an interview with Scott Lobdell where he'd write cliffhangers one issue with no idea of what came next, he'd figure it out later. Many would criticise that but I kind of admire it, I don't think I'd have the balls to do it jazz style.

Working through my socials and purging through what gets my attention. Can't go fully off grid, but def chucked X, FB, & Reddit off my phone and mass-unfollow on insta (almost tempted to nuke and restart).

Sending this goblin wizard off to her creator, Seth, who won a 'Draw Your Character' raffle from me at the last Heroes Con. Her name is Dimple and she's hanging out with her sprite Snarfsnack. She has a hammerhead vibe with glasses, I think I figured out something fun. Love a good challenge!
