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'm here. And I just farmed out my kids, so I might actually have a complete hour to write. I'm going to get started now. Yee-haw!! Any Tour de Writers clocking in???
I got here an hour early (I'm a bit dense when it comes to things like time changes) so I've already written 544 words. I'm going to try and finish this chapter in the next hour.
Yay, we have a Practice Room full! And Kate, you aren't the dense one, I am! I posted it wrong initially! So always trust yourself and then just figure Tina's messed up!
Okay I am going to finish up 12, 13, and 14. Ready or not off they go!

ReplyDeleteHere! I'll be working on my newest WIP. I'm pretty sure my CP will disown me if I don't write at least a page today.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest is sleeping and the other has cartoons. I'm ready!

H bitched me out about my confession at Taherah's, so I'll writing, but I may have to jet early to visit a friend who's home from Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteThat HK cracking the whip!
ReplyDeleteI totally did. I then felt bad about it. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, folks, unplug yourselves. Writing time is precious time, give it some love. And then I will see you after. Yay!
