This week's Room Eleven newsletter explores the theme of "When Progress Doesn’t Feel Like Progress," highlighting the importance of persistence in the face of setbacks and how every failure can be a stepping stone toward success. It features personal reflections on overcoming challenges, including a look at Room Eleven’s upcoming free talks on grief, growth, and resilience. The newsletter also delves into the app Hoopla, a digital library service perfect for comic book lovers, and provides insights into what the writer is currently reading—Daredevil: Born Again by Frank Miller—and watching—Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Plus, a lighthearted nod to the Marvel-heavy content of the week. Read on for inspiration, free talks, and a reminder that progress isn’t always linear.
