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!

What will you be working on? Tell us in the comments.
I have to leave right at six, so I am not writing during this session. I'll be working on stuff....my mind is totally wonky today, so yeah.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you have to go? Wonky minds. Totally can relate. I will miss ya.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try to write. Yeah, I know. Working on theme, because it will help me through this revision. Following my gut.
Good ideas. I totally forgot about a Cinco De Mayo dinner/library fundraiser.
ReplyDeleteI don't wanna go...
ReplyDeleteHaving huge problems trying to load this page - and generally with my internet connection. Hubby trying to fix it now....
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI'll be working on the chapter I'm supposed to have done by Sat. for my critique group.
Don't mind me. I keep commenting with the wrong account. *Grumble, grumble, grumble* This is what I get for having more than one gmail login.
ReplyDeleteYay, Casey and Ann Marie! Great to see you here.
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie, thank the Hubs for me! And I do so hope it works out. I hope you get some writing done!
Hi Ann Marie!
ReplyDelete*closes five thousand open distractions*
I saw that on WIBIJ, Casey, and I was so confused. I'll be critiquing too, I've decided. I had one due...last Wed. Um...hello.
ReplyDeleteAnn, I hope you win the fight!
J, maybe you can go late! FASHIONABLY late. Right?
ReplyDeleteCasey, I am doing that too!
Squeezing this comment in before 5pm.. I'll probably only be able to work part of this time...waiting for Richard to get back from work!
ReplyDeleteDena, INTENTION is 9/10th of the battle! Good work!
ReplyDeleteLOL Jon. There's a good explanation, I swear, but it drives me bonkers.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not critiquing, though I do have some of that to do by this weekend. I'm working on the ch. I have to have WRITTEN to turn in on Sat.
Be productive, everyone!!
Wow, good luck, to everyone!
ReplyDeleteOkay, Time to go people!!! We will be back together soon!
