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!

Post 1: Unpluggage begins at 8pm (Eastern)
What will you be working on? Tell us in the comments.
So I had such a successful unpluggage this am with Marisa that I might try to pick up where I left off. But I also have a blog post to write... There is lot to be working on.
Hi Tina, I'm here, and planning on working on some WIBIJ work for tomorrow! No surprise, huh? Vacation week for my kids is not conducive to keeping up with writing and blogging! :) And, I'm listening to the dulcet tones of my son's new rock tumbler. It's super loud. And takes 18 days to polish rocks! Who knew?! Fun, though.
Okay, so I didn't have the Internet to post between 5:30 - 6. But my goal was to write 1000 words. I'll have to go check and see how I did -- I just got home!
We'll have to do a later evening one next time so you can be by the internet and we can really talk to you!! That is half (most) the fun and the motivation.

ReplyDeleteMy plan is just to write something - anything! - for the hour.
