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!

Wow weird that this was posted 17 minutes ago, but its still not showing up in my feed. Stinkin' blogger.
Okay, I'm just finishing my chapter that I thought I finished but then realized its not quite finished. Me and this chapter are not BFFs. Its kicking me in the butt.
Okay! Back to reading and pushing ahead. I am going to give you something if my life depends on it. Blogger is weird today. Your comment didn't show up in my email. I wonder when she's going to crash and burn. I hope she doesn't.

ReplyDeleteOH REALLY! I need to start printing up and saving my blog in the event that Blogger blips out someday!
ReplyDeleteAnd we are off! We would have to find some other way to save The Practice Room. See you on the other side!
