Need structure? Want to find camaraderie? Tired of writing in solitude? Join our virtual office space. At TPR someone is always in the cubicle next to you.
Here's how the practice room works:
First of all, EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
At the given date and time (weekly schedule posted below), meet at post 1. It appears 30 minutes in advance of the hour (barring unusual circumstances), giving us a chance to set our goals in the comments. Declare your goal. Work toward furthering your project; word counting, revision, or whatever it needs - you decide.
Post 2: WE ARE UNPLUGGED! announces our hour. During that time, we write! The rules: no procrastinations. Please feel free to make tea or stand on your head as needed.
When the time is up, Post 3 appears with a chat box and we will get a chance to converse, or you can comment old-style to tell us what you got done! We are dying to know!
Read about a typical first time
here. I make the schedule every Sunday. It will remain up in the side bar until I post the next week's schedule (feel free to make requests for particular times in the comments - I take them into serious consideration). All additions will be noted in in the side bar. Come back and check it often. (The schedule times are listed in Eastern Time Zone but the blog posts in Central - Tina's time zone. Our visitors are from all over the map.)
Please email me with questions, comments, or just to introduce yourself! tina dot laurel at gmail dot com
Don't forget to sign the guestbook at the bottom of the page!
That is supposed to say RECONVENTION!
ReplyDeleteI spent most of my time playing with this blog, but as that was on my to do list, I'd say it was time well spent. I did go back to chapter 8 at the end. Still plugging away.
ReplyDeleteCeconvention is kinda cool. I got another 1/4 of a chapter done. And feeling excellent.
ReplyDeleteHow are you, and what happened in here? Someone turned on the lights :)
ReplyDeleteAha. You had already answered that. What happened with the margins? I need to know for my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt is a different Template.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the cramped blogger templates!
It's funny how long the first 15 minutes of an unplug are for me--I generally get a lot done, and it feels like it must be time to plug back in, and I check the clock, and it's only been about 15 or 20 minutes. It makes me feel good about how much I can accomplish.
ReplyDeleteWhich Template?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear about your 1/4th chapter!! That is some excellent work. Plugging through the manuscript an hour at a time.
