Yes I have been getting work for the KSN and for the Medway Times which is still pretty good and it is keeping my list up to date with contacts. But after a recent conversation with a career adviser where he said that if I do not get any paid reporting work soon, then I would have to give my up career as a reporter.

But with a lot of help from some very kind people on Twitter - you know who you are - I managed to get an idea of what is needed and where to start. I know that it will be a difficult start to get up and running but i do have the faith and confidence to get up and running and start to make a name for myself as a paid reporter.
