Let's get straight to the point. I'm 35 and had to move back with my parents last year. I lost my job for 6 months and started working again in June. I have been going back between my parents and gf. Recently broke up with gf (see other posts) and been at parents house for the last few weeks.
The deal: I've been working on a comic book that's due to hit in May. I kinda need to stay there in order to afford the printing and travelling cost to hit the conventions. Lately though I've been sh!t from my father (he's not down with the comic book and the writing stuff). He just wants me to buy a house and go to work and be happy. I want more than that. In summary, he's ready for me to get the hell out. I want to get the hell out too.
Also part of the reason I haven't is because of the child support hit too.
The deal part 2: I've been planning a move to L.A. as well. This wasn't gonna take place until June (trying to save money). I've been waiting for my daughter to get outta school. Lately some stuff hit the fan with the family (my sis pissed my parents off-she lives in Orange County Ca) and I've been getting the sh!t.
Question: Should I move somewhere temp and just make it work with raising money to produce the books. To be quite honest I didn't want to leave my daughter (I see her on weekends), but there is serious business I need to focus on in L.A. I just want to give this a try (the whole writing thing). Or should I just take off now (within a month). Or not go at all, stay here and try to hustle my books and writing skills (from Ohio).
Any advice would be appreciated.
