Can you relate? When I was working at a car factory I’d daydream whilst loading parts in to a machine and create stories in my mind to keep me going through eight, sometimes twelve hour shifts. I turned to comics to tell my stories and my passion kept me going through those tough times of sticking with the day job. I quit that job 4 years ago to publish comics full time & I’ve never looked back. 📸 @amrit_birdi_ #ComicBookJourney #PassionToProfession #Inspiration #horrorcomics #writingcomics #makingcomics #smallbusiness #indiebusiness #creativebusiness #IndiePublisher #HorrorComics #indiecomics #comicshops #comicbooks #smallbusiness #creativebusiness #creativebusinessowner #businessjourney #afterlightcomics #booktok #publisher #comicpublisher
