Good-mannered bloggers should add bloggers who leave comments to their own blogrolls. I am *very behind* in updating my blogroll.

Today, then, I would like to introduce you, in no particular order,  to several blogging friends whom I have just added to my blogroll.

• Lavenderbay at Voice of the Turtle.  A beautiful Canadian writer, poet, photographer, and all-around creative and thoughtful person, Lavenderbay has become one of my favorite fellow-bloggers.
• Randy at Wordnut. Randy Parker is an independent advertising copywriter, creative consultant and freelance writer working in Memphis. You can see samples of his professional work at www.wordnut.com
• Bill at Sweet William Now. Knoxville’s Bill writes on the process of recovery and renewal.
• James at  James Viscosi’s Scribblings.  James Viscosi is a California writer in the speculative fiction field, which includes the horror, fantasy, science fiction, crime, and mystery genres. James has another blog already on my blogroll, Dennis’s Diary of Destruction.
• Mrs. Dirty Boots at A Self Sufficient Life.  British ex-pats Mrs. and Mr. Dirty Boots live on a piece of Spanish mountainside harvesting olives and almonds and trying to provide for themselves for as little as possible. They’re also off-grid with no services which means they rely on solar and wind power, collect rainwater, recycle grey-water, etc., and are a pair of remarkable human beings in general.
• Goodbear at Cody Bear’s Friends. Goodbear writes about dogs and insects and other interesting stuff, and takes amazing photographs to go with what she writes.
• Jana at Fiber Art Studio. Jana is a visual artist who works conceptually through fiber, paint and language. She also uses video, photography and the internet to make sketches, document performances and construct personal narratives.
• Mel at Mental Indigestion. Mel is a blogging bud from Singapore, whom I met at the Iowa summer writer’s conference last year.
• Erin at Lucky BWay Girl. Erin is an actress in New York who dreams of being in a Broadway show. In the meantime she has had a number of interesting acting gigs, writes wonderful blog posts, and refuses to wear shorts.
• Cara at Repurposeful. Cara likes to find new uses for everyday things that are a little bit green, a little bit frugal, and 100% useful.
• Cyn at BAMWriters. Cyn is a best-selling novelist and teaches other people the essentials they need to be published, too. BAMWriters is her latest online resource for writers– check it out! Cyn is also passionate about dog rescue, and will be featured right here in a guest post soon about vocation.
• Laurie at Punk Rock HR. When she isn’t setting the world on fire with her cynical approach to Corporate America, Laurie Ruettimann is a punk rock Human Resources Professional with over a decade of experience in several large, Fortune 500 organizations.
• Leah at Five Blondes. Leah is one of five sisters from Ontario (that’s in CANADA, yo!) who have been blogging together for over a decade. Impressive, or what?
• Kieran at Zen and the Art of Redundancy. Kieren is one of many who have recently lost jobs in the current recession — but it hasn’t stopped him.
