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 3: Reconvention!

So, do tell! What happened?


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.


Jon and Krystey and Marisa and myself. Fun! Perfect community!

Post 3: Reconvention!

Marisa was present!

Post 2: WE ARE UNPLUGGED!

We are currently unplugged, but will reconvene in Post three at 10PM EST!

If I am the only person here, there will be no reconvention chat!

Post 1: Unpluggage begins at 9 pm (est)

What will you be working on? Tell us in the comments!

Post 3: Reconvention!

So, do tell! What happened?


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.

Post 2: WE ARE UNPLUGGED!

Meet you back in post #3 for our reconvention chat at 12PM EST!

Post 3: Reconvention!

Dianne, KrysteyBelle, and Jon were present. We talked about revisions and critiques. We discussed the ups and downs of self-publishing, submitting short stories to anthologies, and bemoaned the fact that none of us can draw manga. We popped over to Amazon to visit KrysteyBelle's entry in the Breakthrough contest, and KrysteyBelle and I educated Jon about Helen Ready.
