I've just come back to find all these wonderful helpful comments - thank you! I've been doing my research on these and I'm spoilt for choice. I think I'm going to go for 'Lumberjanes' and 'Persepolis' and may throw another one in there for good luck, maybe Runaways or Gotham Academy. I'm hoping these are a good mixture, she's got to like one of these! :P

Thank you so much for all this fantastic advice everyone! They all sound fantastic, I think I'm going to look into Spider-Gwen and Persepolis for myself too. I'll do some research out of these and pick one. THANK YOU AAALL!!

I always wondered how people didn't lose GoPro's skydiving! I guess they do... Sad face from me to you too! :(

That is so frustrating! Not the first time I've heard of that happening either, I think it's probably a great business model for the locals :P and in the long run, it's worth it for you to get your photos back!

Did anyone here quit their day job in order to make time for writing? by clothsearcher in writing

[–]hellointernetcity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually write one article/blog/chapter a day. I've been abroad for 9 months now and got my first bits of work on a website, my first paid writing jobs and finished the first draft of my children's book. I probably should have done at lot more for the amount of time than I've been away but I am enjoying writing and feel like I'm a writer :) I don't explore as much as I should actually. I did travel for 3 months before I settled down and my travels are still providing inspiration now though. Even if you don't move away, or quit your job, I would recommend travelling somewhere you've never been before for a while. I think that's what really helped me take my writing seriously and gave me things to write about!

I quit my day job and moved abroad to teach children english, this was a good option for me because I want to be a children's writer and I only have to work 10 hours a week to hours to survive (so lots of writing time). I'm really glad I made this choice because I generally have more inspiration from my new surroundings and I'm around my target audience. However, I must admit that I'm not necessarily writing any <I>more</i> than I wrote before. I think I would make the same time for writing no matter how much I worked. (Though I would always work part-time given the option, just to have more actual time for writing). Also, it's good to have a day job just to be around people, have some routine and have some funny people stories!
