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!

Post 1: Unpluggage Begins 8 AM eastern
What will you be working on? Tell us in the comments.
Earlier? Oh man. I don't think I can do earlier than this! I just realized that the last time I set the clock to wake me this early was when I was studying abroad in England 6.5 years ago.
I would never, J! Oh, I am so aware of that time change. It has become the bane of my existence. So glad to have the pleasure of your company as well. And we may see Dena too. Here are my orders: Write people, this hour is sacred! Off you go!
We'll see if anybody shows at this ungodly hour (it really isn't that early, I'm half tempted to try even earlier). But I'm writing anyway!
ReplyDeleteI am finishing up chapter nine and moving on to ten. I tried to dream about it last night. Don't know if I was successful--I never remember my dreams.
*yawn* I'm here.
ReplyDeleteI might be a little useless, but hopefully I'll be working on Ch. 20

ReplyDeleteNo, this is soo early, Marisa. I am sorry I said that.
ReplyDeleteI AM SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE!!!!!
Haha, don't be sorry! Do what works for you! My mom gets everything accomplished at 6am. That is insanity, to me!
ReplyDeleteJonny's here. I like this, but don't make fun of me for it being later here because the same is true with all those late night chats!
