A chat box will be here the first 1/2 hour after our unplug. Please sign up (I think you will have to begin an account with Chatroll but it only takes a second). After our chat I will remove the chat box and post the highlights. For posterity's sake. If all else fails, please post your report in the comments. If there is something I can fix I will do it as quick as I can. And if you just prefer to do it the old school way, in comments, that is fine too.
The chat where Marisa and I discussed pressing new projects, cute baby bunnies, dogs tossing possums, and having one book under the belt!

Reconvention Postponed 15 minutes!
You have fifteen more minutes. By some twist of your fate, writing time has been extended. Lucky you. See you at 1:15 eastern! (Sorry to be extra confusing! I made a mistake and my daughter had to be picked up at Reconvention time: 12 pm Marisa and my time. 1pm Heather and Jon time. 10 am Robert time. Woot! Welcome. So glad you made it! Hope to see you in 15 when the chat box will post!)

The chat: Dena, Jon and I. Jon and I shared sentences (I spelled it wrong). Dena finished chapter 6. We talked about our online voices, typing or otherwise and that was about it.

I was the first and the worst, Marisa was next and the best, J was third, the nerd with the hairy chest. Then there was Heather and Dena, who were called worse things, I think. Chapter 20 is a beast. The deer and chores and the internet are distracting. Dena got in her 500 already! That was the hour in a nutshell.

Another relatively uneventful chat: except it took me a looooong time to figure out what CPle meant. And D bounced in for a hello before returning to the words. Present: Marisa, Jonathon, phantom HK, Dena for a drive-by and myself(I took the leap--if you can call it that w/out abandoning current wip???).

Chat: Marisa is powering: go chapter 20. J is frolicking and jumping in to were-pacts. Tina is considering, never jumping. H is an AWESOME editor. Dena said hi but then ran off to take advantage of her time! All in all, writers heaven! Can't wait until the next one.

Uneventful chat where we established my son's weekend injury was caused by a scared, baby were-bear. D worked on one para because of crazy kiddos, J worked on the minimindmapthing and a shower, I worked on the end of chapter 12 and 13, and H returned late (because of good writing, I think). And I nearly forgot, Dena's dreaming!! So thrilled to be an ignoring presence. I think that can only be auspicious of the future!!! Present: Dena, Jonathon, Heather (sort of), and myself.

The chat where I said, and let it be known, there will need to be an UNPLUGGING re-commitment ceremony. Heather says: There are officially too many things to do, so many reasons not to write, and that is precisely why these hours are precious. Then after, we return to chat and make all the typos we want, while simmering applebutter and children yell ayudame in the background. This is just how it has got to be. See ya all next week--well, except there will be no Marisa at the beginning of the week : (, and no Kelly all week(wa!). Present: Jon, Marisa, Heather, Kay, and myself.

Just so you all know, Polark, pronounced Poe as in Edgar Alen, plus lark like the bird he did not write about. Michigan = no municipools, or electricity or roads. And professional grave diggers are uncommon in kindergarten. J will post a poem authored in his youth soonish and it is not about animals or flowers or Lake Michigan, but is about Kelly's living room decor. And such is life in The Practice Room chat. See you in a week, Kelly. Present: Marisa, Kelly, Jonathon and myself.

This chat was short and sweet, just me and the TPR poster children. It is enough to make a girl feel inadequate!!! I ran off to meet the camp bus, Dena to make some dinner, and Marisa to break in to the studio. Present: Dena, Marisa, and myself.

The chat where Dena was a swift writing rock star superhero- e compared outlines vs. pantsing, revision lovers vs. revision haters, starting new projects and Kris(another writing rockstar with fulls and a partial out, one being a requested revision) shared her submitting progress . Good luck with the waiting and writing , Kris. We can keep you busy with unplugs if you need!

Short chat but full of inappropriate statements about writing ability and mental ability. Dena was nearly kicked out of the chat room and all comments remained solid and present, no disappearing. Also J will genetically design his kids to eat frozen pancakes, or no, strike that, live on only asparagus juice. Gross, J, just imagine how their diapers will smell. Present: Dena, Jon, and myself.
Important recommendations:
Comedian Demetri Martin: Glitter is the herpes of the craft world because it does not go away.

The chat of the phantom comments. First they were there and then they were gone. Experimentation with the arrow key and other shenanigans. No way to really recap the event as the evidence has been disappeared! Present: Heather, Marisa, Jon, Kelly and myself!

This was the first Practice Room that I royally screwed up. I had been waiting for it to happen, so it was about time. I scheduled the posts wrong AND got distracted and confused by my son's dance performance (very beautiful, I must say). Chatting with the lovely Marisa and Kelly made everything all better!

The chat where we anticipated our future vandelism of J's first book. I missed Marisa's sad fainting comment (I hope you never faint again) and had mixed success with the morning writing experiment! Who's up for trying it again tomorrow?! Present: Jon, Marisa, Dena, and myself.

The chat with just Marisa and I. We talked angsty kids and difficulty of an afternoon unplug. Bribing with ice cream and enforcing quiet time! We had neighbors and yelling at 4:30, but both managed to get a little further with manuscripts.

This was the unplug where I went AWOL on a bike. And the chat where George took over when we "dissolved into puns and tomfoolery," Carolina visited at Jon's prodding (he has seriously hooked the practice room up) and Laura got tough on the cheaters. Jon's new project was unveiled late in the game. Present: Jon, Marisa, Laura, Kelly, Carolina, Casey (even later in the game) and myself.
