Absolute Write
If you intend on submersing yourself in the community of writers, the best place to start is by joining a local writing group or an online writing group. One of the most professed online writing groups around (and actually noticed by lit agents/editors/publishers, too!) is Absolute Write.
This forum is your gateway to advice on topics ranging from genre, grammar and writing interest to self-publishing, work-for-hire and a proclaimed 'writing lab.'
I cannot stress to you how important it is to fully submerge yourself in the publishing industry. Twitter, Blogger, Tumblr and yes, even forums, are a major player in your reputation as a serious author. As we've learned, agents (those admirable people who represent you to the key players in the business) are looking for writers who can produce a following and those who are willing to throw themselves into the mix of social networking.
This is the way of the future and Absolute Write is a terrific beginning step!

The Best Damn Creative Writing Blog
One of my favorite creative writing blogs (and there's no bias simply because I'm a contributor to it) is The Best Damn Creative Writing Blog.
Best Damn is a resource for authors, a review hotspot for publishers, and a place to catch up on all the latest news in the publishing industry. Each contributor brings a different perspective to various topics of writing, controversial subjects of the industry, social networking, and even empowering unpublished authors to stand up and fight for their right to be displayed on a book shelf.
This is a good site to explore when you're trying to immerse yourself in the industry as a professional - a MUST for any author.
