Titled Time Under Tension, the work is M.S. Harkness's third autobiographical graphic novel. By expanding on the themes of trauma memoir from her previous comics, Harkness hopes to visualize a narrative centered around her journey to recovery.
Since her nomination for a Forecast mentorship in May, Harkness has been editing her work for tone and clarity, as well as re-building parts of her narrative to reflect more ethical choices in storytelling from personal experiences. At the Forecast Forum, she will read passages from her book developed during this period.
