I would suggest you apply for jobs before you leave your current town. If you are unsuccessful, you havent uprooted your family for nothing. After being successful, your new employers will be able to help you find accomodation and give you sometime to move etc.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
