"Ithaqa" Fundition Update #73 - I Struggled To Write This Week

![Screen Shot 2019-11-22 at 11.12.41 AM.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZzEJrLL3pptMZ7JwwRZjypYSWoByV1iPnsYedYtDoBfT/Screen%20Shot%202019-11-22%20at%2011.12.41%20AM.png)

So half of that page you thought we got rid of yesterday, actually got moved to todays page! We get to give Harvey a chance to display his prowess for sneaking and espionage!

It's weird to say, and I'm not going to get too political here, but writing has been really hard this week because of the impeachment hearings. My brain wants to spend several hours devouring everything and everyone's hot take on what's going on, and by the time I work up the self-control to actually get in the chair and write, my brain is fried from too much info, and my eyes hurt from too much screen.

I've still managed to write nearly 20 pages of comic this week, but it has been like pulling teeth and it has not been my best work. I need to find a way to ensure I do my writing FIRST, and anything else later on in the day.

It must have been so much easier to write before the internet, our brains really are designed to go off on tangents, and these platforms were built to be addictive - it's just not a great combination for the modern writer, and I need to find a way to break out of that cycle. Suggestions are appreciated!
