In office lore the place to find any group of people just hanging around and chatting about the state of the office, or the industry is the water cooler.  I never partook in this, mostly because I only ever worked in one place that had a watercooler.  However I appreciate the idea.  Having someplace to go to talk to people that are in the industry and understand exactly what you mean when you’re speaking in fluent industry gobbledegook.

For many of us the internet blogs and forums have replaced the watercooler, giving us access to people all over the world that share the same interests.  I’ve updated our blog roll, which is over on the sidebar there, with some of my favorites.  This list will continue to grow over the years and is filled with some of the best sites I know to search for readers, writers, agents, and people who just love books.

Now, the challenge with having so many friends around the watercooler is having to remember to say Hi, and then get back to work.  As a writer I can talk about writing all I want, but unless I actually write…I’m not doing anyone any favors. 

So time for me to get back to focusing.  I have killer roses to write about…
