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 11 am eastern
What will you be working on? Let me know in comments.
Oooh, I have to hurry up and fold the laundry before the unplug starts!! Then I'm going to get back into my morning pages - they helped me so much during my last month of writing SLEEP and I need to channel their magic to help me now!
After that, I should probably finish my outline. I've been avoiding it, which means something clearly isn't right, but I haven't been ready to face it, and I think I'm ready to face it!
Good morning. I'm still researching outlines. The Kelly Armstrong outline 101, 102a, and 102b is on my kindle and I have been jotting down notes, so I will either be doing that or working on a blog.
Marisa, you are so brave! Face the outline! Amy, notes and blogging sound like a perfect way forward. I am going to try and finish this LIGHT revision. I am frustrated with myself.

ReplyDeleteI am going to finish a few scheduling things hopefully before the unplug. And then I'm going to... I don't know... WRITE?
ReplyDeleteOh, we are off! Write your heart out, Heather.
