Nose to the Grind stone

I can safely say that I have successfully managed to forget what it is like to feel the sun's rays dancing across my face. This is because, over the past three days I have not left the house. My skin, once a whiter shade of pale appears to have changed colour to a paler shade of death and after years of wishing they would do so - my freckles have all but dissappeared. Before to long I know I shall find myself pagued with rickets or scurvy ( whichever illness it is that is derivitive from a lack of vitamin D).

Of course, the silver lining is this : I will not at any time soon be dying of skin cancer.

So what have I been doing? I hear you ask. I have been writing an article for my internship, which will be online some time next week discussing colouring for various complexions and have also been researching my next article on organic pet supplies. I know it does not sound like ground breaking stuff, but it is actually quite interesting and anyway its a start.

I also entered the ideastap columnist competition with my article which is to follow soon, and have been working on a story for the ideastap editors brief. I won't put it on here though, but once my online portfolio is up and running, you should be able to see a copy there.

I'm also looking for freelance journalism work on various websites which will pay me - as I have no money what so ever and an overdraft that seems to get bigger and bigger by the second.

If I don't get something soon, I shall have to revert to the evils of ebay.

So all in all, my day will have not been of very much interest to you, but I still thought I should comment upon it as hopefully, todays work, may result in something good.

Stay tuned and keep reading
