Interview with Deb Ng

Comments
I think we all have those freelancers out there that really inspire us. From early on, Tamara and I were continually impressed by Deb Ng and her blog Freelance Writing Jobs. So, when we got the opportunity to meet her in person last month, it was really exciting. When she agreed to do a short interview with us, well, we were even more convinced of what a class act Deb is.
I’d long been wondering about Deb’s transition from FWJ over to Blog Talk Radio. She was gracious enough to share with us how that change has affected her. Thanks again, Deb!

well aren’t you a cutie patootie Lorna?
I was wondering about Deb’s move to a FT position too. I wasn’t even surprised, because, on a personal note, I’m feeling burned out a bit on staright freelancing. Imagine- Deb doesn’t have to scrounge for jobs every day, train anew everyday, and juggle 5-10 clients. What’s that feel like! Of course I’m sure there’s tradeoffs.
I’ve been following Deborah, as well and found her freelance Writing Jobs a good resource.
It’s great to see others’ success. Sometimes we get the most inspiration from those who’ve stayed the course.

I can tell you both Lorna and Tamara are stunning women and they’re a lot of fun to hang out with. I think when that video was taken I was on day four of no sleep – and it shows!
Allena, I wouldn’t have even considered this job if I couldn’t work at home. I have no desire to return to office work. In fact, I only responded on a whim, I didn’t expect to get the job. BUT, with that said, even if I was still freelancing I would have had to hire writers for FWJ. I wish I could do nothing but FWJ full time, but I need a full time salary. So I had to make some tough choices.
I’m very happy with the writers at FWJ now and even happier I can still blog there any time I want.
P.S. Meeting both Lorna and Tamara was one of the highlights of my BWE experience!
Oh and yes, there are tradeoffs. I can’t just blow the day off and take my son to the park or beach, for instance. But I do get paid sick and vacay so it works itself out.

Deb is an A-1, class act, and it’s been an honor to look after her “baby” for her. She has established a wonderful community at FWJ and I am very privileged to be a part of it.
Aw, man, I thought you were gonna CRY for a second! And then I was all into it and then – Hey!?! What’s this, “If you know JAMES…”
Yeah, yeah, love me. You know you do.
Sometimes I look twice at office work… I tend to get a bit lonely depsite vitrual peeps. And what happened to your hair, Ms Lorna? that’s not what your pic looks like
And Deb, surely you got to see the third part of the crew, too? Little miss dot?
Allena, I did meet the beautiful and very well behaved Miss Dot. A beautiful baby with a beautiful mom.

@James – You now have evidece that would hold up in court. We officially love you.
@Allean – You should never ask a woman “what happened to your hair?” I had beent rying to grow it out during my pregnancy and just hated it, so off it came again. I think I look better with shorter hair.
