That mill doesn't sound like your best bet to me. What are your interests? What's your background? Do you have industry experience? I'd look for a niche and see if there's something that can kick start your business working in that niche.
When I left marketing in education, I pitched stories to education magazines, and after I qualified in nutrition, I went mad pitching to health shop free magazines and other titles on nutrition. I did some work for Healthline and picked up other nutrition related work.
Then I got into caravanning...
Think about your experience, skills, interests, and special knowledge and see if you can find work in that niche. It's got to be more rewarding than this crazy situation.
