Just a base-touch for whoever's reading this (if anyone, hah). Still in a twist about the catastrophe (aka, the election).
Wondering if our country's really going to freefall (and/or faceplant) into vassal state fascism and end our democratic history in favor of a demented, sociopathic sex offender traitor's narcissistic dreams of dictatorship.
My mind oscillates between various worlds I can create to help me survive this debacle. Some days I look to Fantasy for an escape to a world where justice is attainable. On other days, my mind lurches back into Horror as I rage against the evil that's surging through the world. Still other days Weird Fiction beckons with ineffable attractions.
I'm fortunate in that I can create places to escape to (at least for now), but I'm still tremendously upset, as any thinking, feeling, democratic person in this country should be.
That impacts me as a creator.
