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

Okay, I haven't looked at my manuscript all weekend. Which I am sure is not the case for you Marisa! Perhaps you are done already??? But I am going to pick it back up and keep on going.
ReplyDelete:( So sad to miss today's unplug! I'm kid-sitting for my friend.
ReplyDeleteBut no, I'm not done! Haha, I deleted everything I wrote last week, and have been brainstorming all weekend about how to charge through it!
Oh yeah, Marisa might not be able to come. And Heather has family in town, and Jonathon has to work. So I may be on my own. If so I will pull second and third posts!
ReplyDeleteThere you are! Thanks for the update anyway, M! You are tooo awesome!
ReplyDeleteagh crap! I unplugged and I was looking forward to the chat!
ReplyDeleteDena! SO SORRY! I should have checked with you before I canceled. Well, I don't know if I could have, you were unplugged. I would have liked the chat as well...
