Jaffeassc, your description of what you intend to do is the correct "common" grounding process. What others are talking about here is a totally separate grounding system separate of the main panel. If this is done incorrectly you can end up creating additional noise if the entire house finds the new "separate" grounding the shorter route to earth.
What you had intended will work great, just wire your runs as they would be described in any self wiring book or publication you might be using as your guide.
I would avoid attempting the other "isolated grounding" being discussed, for it could cause problems, it might be illegal and it might void you home owners insurance if you had a fire.
So proceed with your Romex wiring as proposed. Ground the grounding wire to the outlet and back at the main panel as you intended. I would however strongly advise you use 8 ga. wire on all circuits. The cost is marginal, and despite this sounding like overkill, my experience has shown a subtle but noticeable improvement.
