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 am transcribing notes from my notebook and this last weekends epiphanies of the conference. Writing a recap, although the race is not officially over, and sending out a crit. Hope to write as well. So, loving the idea of unplugging!!!

ReplyDeleteWait - I'm confused by the date... is this for today?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I think this is for today. So. I'm finishing a blog post, and then working on the same scene I started the other day.
ReplyDeleteWooops, the day is wrong up there! How did that happen? I think we are unplugging in 9 minutes. For sure I am. Weird. I will investigate.
ReplyDeleteYay, Marisa. I don't know how this worked because I scheduled it in advance. For weird's sake.
ReplyDeleteI figured it out. The silly date is European style and so that is the day first and the month second. Whew, I thought I was losing my mind!!
ReplyDeleteOff we go! Heather may show up in a bit too. I think she mentioned this morning.
