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!

Kate, where's the throw down??!! H, is going to be here and she said she will beat you word wise even late, even with her arms tied behind her back! (The arms tied was my addition--I'm totally putting words in her chat).
Marisa!! The Practice Room has missed you! Welcome back.
I have some notes from the weekend I will be playing with. Revision, revision, revision!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting a new scene and I haven't really thought much about it... so I'll be playing around with it and seeing what I come up with!
ReplyDeleteYay, glad to be back! I've missed these!

Kate? Where did your comment go?
ReplyDeleteTina? Where did your first comment go?
ReplyDeleteCreepy, the comments are disappearing into cyberspace.
ReplyDeleteTina, that happens on my blog, too. Sometimes all my comments go away and I sulk for hours and feel unloved. And then they come back. :)
ReplyDeletei see them all
ReplyDeleteKate, you are lucky.
ReplyDeleteMarisa, thanks for the reassurance!
We are off. Good luck on all those blank scenes!
