Temp work is absolutely fine. It seems to be true that "it's always easier to find work when you have work". Use the time to network, build the portfolio, or get paid to learn something new. It's about who you know, so try to make an impact and return favors with everyone you meet. You never know when a contractor you worked with years ago will refer you to a new client...
