I’m late to the party (as usual). I just wanted to say “thank-you” for including Work From Home Momma on your favorites list.

No, thank you! This blog has been invaluable as I have sought to develop my freelancing career. Because of this site, I have landed some fabulous blogging jobs, which have led to other opportunities. I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thank you so much for providing this blog as a help for all of us out there trying to make a few bucks doing what we love.

Thanks for giving us a lovely blog, Deb! When I first became interested in freelancing (I was 18 y.o.), I went looking for information and I stumbled across your blog. You were my first resource and your blog gave me a push into the writing world. I’m now 20 y.o., pursuing an English degree, and am planning to include writing in my professional life! Thanks for all the great advice – FWJ has been a valuable resource

Deb, I second your shout out for Liz Strauss. Not only do I love her blogs but I have worked with her as well and she is a great coach/mentor–a big heart and a great mind. And yes, she has some great stories.

And I also want to say how wonderful this blog is – I have found some jobs here but I have also discovered great resources – like Liz – that have helped me as a writer and blogger.

So thank you, thank you, thank you.

One of my favorite blogs, besides this one of course, has to be Uncle Jay. Even my fourteen year old gets up early on Monday to watch Uncle Jay’s news story of the week. My Monday morning routine is always the same, read the comic and post at Questionable Content, check out Uncle Jay and then head over here. It’s the best way to start out a week! So my hat is off to all three of my favorite blogs today.

A wonderful community. Deb, a lot of people have found sound great paying gigs here. If it wasn’t for you then FWG would not exist… and if it wasn’t for Jodee things would not run so smoothly.

Thanks to the both of you and all good contributers

@China-Matt – You,and everyone else, give me a gift every time you come here.

Stay tuned though. As we’re about to celebrate our third anniversary, I think it’s time for a giveaway to say thanks.

@ Deb: To say thank you for your kind words doesn’t seem like enough. I visited FWJ long before I ever “met” you and really appreciated the leads. I was a fan back then – still am – and I am proud to call you my friend as well.

FWJ is a wonderful place online and I am so pleased to be a part of it. Thank you again, Deb, and to all of you who come here to visit.:D

@ Erika K: We hope you keep coming back for a long time to come!

@ china-matt: Good point.

There’s a blogger appreciation day? Are we supposed to get gifts?

James – I believe it is your outspoken charm as the reason Deb keeps you here! Truly, I read the comments just to hear what you will say next!

A great list of bloggers Deb!

Deb, I could turn around every word you said about me and it would be true about you as well. Like-minded bloggers deserve each other. Thank you the appreciation goes deep and both ways.

I have to say thank you back. I consider it an honor that you actually haven’t given me the boot yet. Despite my outspoken charm

And John you have a great resource for writers too! Poewar helped me find work long before FWJ.

I do appreciate you Deb, and Jodee at this blog. This was, for some reason, the first place I really hooked into when I first started being serious about freelance writing in January.

I suppose I could have picked several others (obviously, some really good ones listed above). Something here just makes you want to stick around! Thanks – thanks – thanks!!
