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

I'm here. Plugging away. Had a sleepless night, drug myself from bed dreading the writing and hated it for the first 30 minutes but then -BREAKTHROUGH. I had an idea. This hour is for seeing if it would work.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else?
Yay for ideas. Boo for sleepless nights. I had one too. I'm going to try to work a little bit. But we are leaving before the chat time to go meet Maggie. Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh have fun, Krystey! Yay for Maggie. You are sure to get ideas after seeing her! Are you working on short story or synopsis?
ReplyDeleteKrystey and I will be happily working together but since she can't make it and nobody signed in for the chat I will cancel the reconvention post. Happy working and Maggie visiting, Krystey!
ReplyDeleteI'm here! I'm late. I'm still trying to fix the end of that chapter >.<
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about reconvention chat though. I have to get my house clean... Have been working on getting that chapter fixed all morning and since nothing seems to be working I think I will go clean and see if it comes to me... Happy writing!
ReplyDeleteI am going to run out and get a birthday present for a party so the canceling worked well for me. I'm glad it will be okay for you too. I hope cleaning brings you a breakthrough, Amy! See you next week!
