Maybe I <i>should</i> start my own coworking group. Or just hang out at Panera every day. Or Dossy's house. :) I love the freelance connections I've made online so much. I wish desperately I could connect with you in real life! No matter how much I talk to my cats, they never seem to respond...

I was working from home and it was just lonely, plus I had all sorts of interuptions. I started to go to the local coffee shops but that costs money and I wasn't able to really talk to people around me about my projects. I found a group and then a space locally (Northern CA) and that has made a huge difference for me. My fellow coworkers provide social interaction and allow me to bounce ideas off of them... As far as locations in NJ, sorry I can't help but the folks at http://coworking.pbworks.com might be able to. It sounds like coworking it exactly what you need.

My cat and I have never been closer. I have a far-off dream in which I (make enough money to) rent an office space and work with other freelancers there - on our own projects, but together each day. I didn't realize other people had thought about this too. Getting together in a free space is an even better idea. Problem for me is not knowing any other freelancers. If I did, I'd probably go out for lunch with them, if only for an excuse to get dressed. Sing it, sister! My cat and I have never been closer.

Unfortunately, we didn't have the resources or ties to enough local freelancers to get a good group together. However, I know there are quite a few in the NYC area.
